Anfield trembles, Klopp receives the worst news in the middle of a game against Sheffield United

Liverpool had a very difficult match this Wednesday corresponding to the 15th round of the Premier League away against Sheffield United where although they were up on the scoreboard with a goal from captain Virgil van Dijk, the development of the game did not allow them to show all their offensive qualities and forced the German coach Jürgen Klopp to make several changes.

In addition to the fact that the Uruguayan striker Darwin Núñez did not start and was replaced by the Dutchman Cody Gakpo, it was also surprising to see the Japanese Wataru Endo in midfield who was cautioned in the first half due to a hard foul by the referee Simon Hooper. The referee had another controversial performance as he didn't even bother the Sheffield United player after a stamp on the knee of Argentine Alexis Mac Allister.

In fact the Argentine midfielder had to leave the field of play in the second half as he never recovered from the problem and had to be replaced by Curtis Jones. While the extent of the injury and how long he could be out of action is still unknown, it is expected to be significant and is causing fears at Anfield for Liverpool fans and the German manager himself.

Mac Allister is key at Liverpool

In his first season with Liverpool, the Argentinian midfielder has become a key element in German coach Jurgen Klopp's approach, which is why he has become an undisputed starter and in fact last Sunday he scored his first goal in the team, which could put him in the running to win the FIFA Puskas award, given every year to the best goal in the world.
