Important Liverpool star joins up with national team despite injury issue --[Reported by Umva mag]

Liverpool star Alexis Mac Allister has joined up with the Argentina national team in Miami ahead of their 2026 World Cup qualifying matches despite the midfielder picking up an injury during the Reds’ win over Crystal Palace on Saturday. 

Arne Slot confirmed after the Merseyside club’s 1-0 win over the Eagles that the Argentina star was taken off at halftime and replaced by Dominik Szoboszlai after feeling something in his groin during the opening 45 minutes at Selhurst Park

This hasn’t stopped the 25-year-old from going on international duty as the Liverpool star has joined up with the rest of the Argentina squad in Miami ahead of their World Cup qualifiers with Venezuela and Bolivia, reports the Liverpool Echo’s Paul Gorst.

Mac Allister played down any injury fears post-match as the World Cup winner took to social media to confirm that his issue was just some “slight discomfort”.

“Great win for the team today, these are the moments that make us stronger,” the Reds midfielder said on Instagram. “I felt a slight discomfort during the game, but nothing that will stop me. Now fully focused on what’s ahead.”

Argentina’s medical staff will assess Mac Allister before Lionel Scaloni risks playing him, which is why Liverpool are unlikely to have a problem with the player travelling.
