A major blow has been dealt to Arne Slot's team, as it has been confirmed that midfielder Alexis Mac Allister will not be traveling to Tyneside. The Argentina international has made the decision to stay behind due to personal reasons.
According to reports, Mac Allister's wife is about to give birth, which has led to his absence from the 21-man squad. This is a significant loss for Liverpool, as Mac Allister has started both of the team's first two games of the season.
