Here's the truth about Alexis Mac Allister's injury, will he be able to play against Man U?

On Wednesday 6 December, Liverpool visited Sheffield United in the fifteenth round of the Premier League. In that match, which took place six days ago, Alexis Mac Allister suffered a deep cut to his left knee after being stamped on in the opening minutes of the game. After that, the medical staff bandaged the area, but the Argentinian decided to stay on the pitch. However, at the start of the second half, he was unable to continue and asked to be substituted. Everyone was concerned about the situation.

After the routine tests that are carried out in this type of case, Mac Allister received the good news that he did not suffer a ligament injury, although he will have to spend several days resting to heal a wound that had to be stitched up with two stitches. "It's a pity about Mac Allister. At first he was stepped on and suffered a cut. They bandaged it and it went on, it was very painful, but he could go on. Then they stitched him up and tightened the bandage more and he couldn't move his knee properly," Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp told a news conference about the problem that will keep the Argentina midfielder out of action for the next few games on the calendar.

As a result of this unfavourable scenario, the athlete decided to post on his Instagram account several photos of this past week, where he was assisted in order to put this moment behind him and return to the courts as soon as possible. "A summary of the past week. I am committed to my recovery and I will do everything I can to return soon, thank you for your constant support!
