Mac Allister Trains Individually Amid Liverpool’s West Ham Preparations
Alexis Mac Allister’s absence from Liverpool’s team training on Wednesday may have initially raised concerns among fans about a possible injury. However, a recent report has reassured supporters that there is no major issue regarding the Argentine midfielder.
As Liverpool intensified their preparations at the AXA Training Centre for Sunday’s Premier League clash against West Ham, several key players were missing from the session. Trent Alexander-Arnold and Joe Gomez continued their recoveries from ankle and hamstring injuries, respectively, while Alisson Becker returned to training after missing two matches due to concussion protocols following an injury sustained on international duty.
Why Did Mac Allister Train Separately?
According to the Liverpool Echo, Mac Allister did not train with the main squad on Wednesday but was instead engaged in an individual program. There are reportedly no significant concerns about his fitness. The 26-year-old’s separate session was likely part of Liverpool’s approach to personalized training schedules, made possible by the absence of midweek fixtures for the remainder of the season.
Benefiting from a Longer Recovery Period
While Liverpool’s exit from the Champions League and FA Cup means fewer games, it also provides players like Mac Allister with much-needed recovery time. The midfielder has been a key figure for the Reds, starting nearly every Premier League game since December and logging 3,261 minutes this season—one of the highest totals in the squad. His recent international commitments, which included travel to South America, further highlight his demanding schedule.
With a full week between matches, Mac Allister should be well-rested and ready to contribute against West Ham, as Liverpool look to bounce back from their defeat to Fulham and stay firmly in the title race.
