In a disappointing development for Liverpool fans, **Alexis Mac Allister** is reportedly set to **miss the Reds’ upcoming Premier League showdown against Manchester City**.
The Argentine midfielder, who has been a vital figure in Arne Slot’s system this season, is said to be sidelined due to a **minor injury concern** sustained during training earlier this week.
Sources close to the club suggest the decision to rest Mac Allister is **precautionary**, but his absence could still prove costly in what is one of Liverpool’s toughest fixtures of the season.
Since joining from Brighton, Mac Allister has been instrumental in controlling Liverpool’s midfield tempo — combining creativity, vision, and work rate to drive the team’s attacking transitions. His unavailability now leaves Slot with a major selection headache, as the Reds prepare to face Pep Guardiola’s high-flying City side.
Fans have expressed concern on social media, fearing the team may struggle to maintain midfield stability without the World Cup winner.
