Jurgen Klopp suffered an injury for Liverpool ahead of Arsenal’s title game
Liverpool could face Arsenal without one of their best midfielders as Jurgen Klopp has a headache ahead of this weekend’s Premier League title clash. Liverpool head coach Jurgen Klopp and Arsenal head coach Mikel Arteta Liverpool welcome Arsenal to Anfield this weekend in what promises to be a tasty contest. The Gunners are currently top of the Premier League, but Jurgen Kloppand’s side are second and just one point behind Mikel Arteta’s men. The two sides will do battle on Saturday and whoever wins will likely face Noel. However, the Reds may be without one of their star midfielders. Alexis Mac Allister picked up a knock in Liverpool’s 2-0 win over Sheffield United on December 6 and was forced off in the second half. The Argentina international has missed his side’s next three matches, most recently a 0-0 draw with Manchester United. Klopp hoped the 24-year-old would not be out for too long, but the former Brighton and Hove Albion man is a major doubt for Saturday’s game against Arsenal. According to reporter Lorenzo Lepore, Mac Allister is unlikely to be fit this weekend. According to the report, Mac Allister’s condition has improved in recent days, but the Arsenal game will come too soon for the midfielder. He also said the World Cup winner is likely to be out until the end of 2023, with the Newcastle United game on January 1 a possible return date. Klopp spoke about Mac Allisterand’s injury last week, as reported by the Liverpool Echo. Ahead of the Man United game, the German said: “Of course I’m not a doctor, but they explained to me every day why he’s not ready and it’s a bit more complicated than we thought at first. . . So the other boy knelt down and a belly button, something under his boot, and it went very far through the muscle to the bone. So now we have to wait for the bone to heal and for Macca to deal with the pain. Its quite painful and actually Macca is a very tough man, but we have to make sure there is no infection and nothing happens and that is important. So it was really… and I’ve never experienced that injury before with any of my players. andquot;But now we have it and I’m hoping it won’t take that long to heal but I’d like to say it’s day by day and it looks like he could be ready for the next game but they say he is not ready for that reason too, I hope in the next three or four days he will make great strides and we will see. Of course, Arsenal have their own injury problems in the game. Mohamed Elneny, Jurrien Timber, Thomas Partey, Fabio Vieira, Takehiro Tomiyasu and Jorginho are currently sidelined.
