Alexis Mac Allister will not miss the start of the Premier League season, Jurgen Klopp has said. This is coming after the Argentine midfielder limped off during Liverpool’s loss to Bayern Munich, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, it was a very harsh contact with his knee, so he and his assistants decided that he should not play any further part in the game.
Klopp added that he just did not want to take any risk with his new midfielder ahead of the new season.
His words, “Yeah, knee on knee. He could have played on,”
“So firstly I got the information that it’s too painful, so that was then clear that we will change. There’s no need to push him through. When I spoke afterwards, he said: ‘No, no, I would have been fine’. But we didn’t want to go [with] any risks. It’s just knee on knee, bruise, that’s it. It was fine.”
