Mac Allister kept in Argentina squad amid Liverpool fitness concerns
Alexis Mac Allister has been named in Argentina's provisional squad ahead of the international break, despite limited minutes for Liverpool this season. The midfielder has required workload management in pre-season, with his involvement restricted to late substitute appearances and a 72-minute start in the opening win over Bournemouth.
Key Takeaways
"The other substitution was Macca, who has been out for two, two-and-a-half months and only in training for two-and-a-half weeks, so not able to play 90 yet."

"It has been a long time, a difficult time because it is never nice to be injured."

"But now I’m feeling good, it’s just about time and getting fit because they have had a good pre-season so they are definitely in a different physical shape, so I have to get used [to it] again."

"Patience is the word as I work back to full fitness."
General reflection on recovery.
Argentina will rely on Mac Allister as they push through qualifiers, while Liverpool plot a careful return for a key midfielder. The club faces two important league fixtures before the trip to South America, giving the player a short window to show he has the stamina for back-to-back games if selected. Liverpool also benefit from Ryan Gravenberch returning from suspension, which adds options in midfield as Dominic Szoboszlai eyes a spot for the upcoming away trip. The balance between club and country duties remains delicate and typical of a season where fitness and rotation are tightly watched by managers, players, and fans alike.
Highlights
- The other substitution was Macca out for two to two-and-a-half months and only two-and-a-half weeks in training.
- It has been a long time, a difficult time because it is never nice to be injured.
- Patience is the word as I work back to full fitness.
- They have had a good pre-season so they are in a different physical shape, I have to get used to it again.
Timing will tell how much this break helps his club and country.
