Liverpool made a superb start to the Premier League season. The Reds sit second behind Manchester City and have won their opening three matches without conceding a single goal.
After the international break, Liverpool are back in action when they host Nottingham Forest. They welcome the East Midlands outfit to Anfield on September 14. It’s a chance for the Reds to keep their 100 per cent start to the campaign going and continue the feel-good factor under Arne Slot, who has managed to get his side firing.
The Reds, along with many other Premier League teams, have several of their players travelling across the globe as they link up with their respective national teams this month. Slot will be hoping none of his players return back with injury or fitness concerns ahead of a hectic period before the next international break.
The ECHO puts together a round-up of some of the latest Liverpool stories to generate headlines over the last 24 hours.
Alexis Mac Allister is suffering with an adductor issue after being brought off in Argentina’s 3-0 win over Chile in the early hours of Friday morning. The Liverpool midfielder opened the scoring for the world champions, before being substituted in the 79th minute.
He had been an injury doubt before the game with manager Lionel Scaloni confirming that Argentina needed to assess him after the 25-year-old missed training earlier in the week after reporting for international duty.
“Alexis didn’t train because he was overloaded, he was in pain,” Scaloni told TyC Sports. “It always happens to us, they come out to do their part.”
