The defending champions are set to face Newcastle United at St. James’ Park in what promises to be a high-profile encounter, particularly with Alexander Isak’s future still linked to a possible move to Anfield.
Mac Allister’s absence from the team bus has sparked speculation that manager Arne Slot may have to do without one of his most important midfielders. Some supporters believe the Argentine might have stayed behind due to personal reasons, such as his partner’s pregnancy, while others think he could still travel separately and join up with the squad later.
The timing of a potential injury is especially concerning for Liverpool, as they are also preparing for a crucial match against Arsenal just a few days after the Newcastle fixture.
Amid the uncertainty, there was at least some good news for the Reds. Conor Bradley was seen with the squad, suggesting that he is ready to make his return from a recent hamstring injury.
