Liverpool may be facing a significant injury setback after fans noticed that one of their key players was seemingly absent from the squad traveling for the Premier League clash against Newcastle United.
On Monday night, reigning Premier League champions Liverpool head to St James’ Park to take on Newcastle in what is expected to be one of the most intense away matches in recent memory.
With Newcastle striker Alexander Isak reportedly pushing for a move to Liverpool, tensions are likely to be high, especially with just a week remaining in the transfer window. Whether Isak will secure a move to Anfield or remain with Newcastle remains uncertain, and the outcome of Monday’s match could influence what happens next.
Meanwhile, Liverpool may be without a crucial member of their squad, as supporters observed that Alexis Mac Allister was not seen boarding the team bus ahead of the Newcastle trip.
Liverpool opened their season with a 4-2 victory over Bournemouth at Anfield, despite a strong showing from Antoine Semenyo. But they may face more pressure on Monday if Mac Allister is unavailable for selection.
Footage posted on TikTok by rsgwmemorabilia showed Liverpool players, including Mohamed Salah and captain Virgil van Dijk, arriving at their hotel in Newcastle. However, Mac Allister was noticeably missing, sparking speculation about his availability for the match.
The timing of a potential absence is far from ideal, with Liverpool set to host title contenders Arsenal on Sunday. Losing a player as vital as Mac Allister could disrupt manager Arne Slot’s plans.
Some fans have speculated that the Argentine midfielder might be traveling separately or could have stayed back due to personal reasons, possibly related to his pregnant partner, Ailen Cova, who may be going into labour.
On a more positive note, Northern Ireland international Conor Bradley was seen with the team, suggesting he may return to action following a recent hamstring injury.
