Injury Concerns and a Boost for Liverpool…

Liverpool’s very own Arne Slot has hinted that Alexis Mac Allister might take to the field this Sunday at the Community Shield, but not before hosting a teacup party for two missing players against Crystal Palace. While Mac Allister was out longer than a cat stuck up a tree, he’s finally scampering back onto the big field. Although he might start, don’t expect him to last longer than a toddler’s attention span as he hasn’t played a full game since his return. Meanwhile, Bournemouth waits eagerly for Liverpool’s Premier League curtain-raiser.

Slot confirmed Mac Allister’s inclusion but Joe Gomez and Conor Bradley seem to be off starring in their own buddy comedy—”Injured and Invisible.” Gomez is almost ready to make a smoother comeback than a failed yo-yo trick, and Van Dijk aims to return after last Monday’s mysterious illness. Alisson, who left for South America, might bounce back to the lineup at Wembley. Now, strap in—Darwin Nunez on his way to taking his scissors to a medical in Germany before snipping onto the next chapter with Al Hilal!
