Jürgen Klopp has confirmed Alexis Mac Allister will continue to be unavailable for this weekend’s clash with Manchester United.

The Liverpool No.10 Alexis Mac Allister has been sidelined since sustaining an injury in the Premier League win at Sheffield United last Wednesday.

Mac Allister was not part of the travelling squad for Thursday’s Europa League tie against Union SG and will also be absent for Sunday’s Anfield meeting with United.

Speaking at his pre-Union SG press conference, Klopp said of the midfielder: “I am obviously not a doctor but they explain it to me pretty much every day why he is not ready yet and it is obviously a bit more tricky than we thought in the first moment.

“The other boy stepped on his knee and the stud went through pretty much the muscle onto the bone. And now we have to wait until the bone is healed and until Macca can deal with the pain, because it is pretty painful.

“Macca is actually a super-tough guy so we have probably to make sure just from an infection point of view nothing happens. That’s really important.

“I never had this injury for one of my players before but now we have it. I hope it will not take that long, I would like to say it’s day by day – but that would look like he could maybe play the next game but he will not be ready for that as well.

“So, I hope the next three or four days he makes big steps and then we will see.”
