- BRIGHTON AND HOVE — Liverpool boss Arne Slot has said that Alexis Mac Allister
will not feature in club's final game of the season this weekend due to injury.
-
- The midfielder was absent from the champions’ squad for
the Premier League fixture at Brighton & Hove Albion on Monday night,
while he was restricted to substitute appearances in the recent encounters with
Chelsea and Arsenal.
-
- Slot detailed in his post-match press conference at Amex
Stadium how Mac Allister is being afforded rest to overcome a fitness issue in
order to be ready for the start of 2025-26 and, therefore, will not figure
against Crystal Palace on Sunday.
-
- "Alexis will not play for us this season anymore. He
needs rest at this moment in time to recover completely and to be ready for the
start of next season, but it will be no problem for him to be back next season.
-
- "I think he played throughout the last part of the
season with the Argentinian mentality he has. Never gives up, no matter what he
feels, but it is not smart to play a player that has, not a big injury but
something to take a risk with," said Liverpool.
-
- Earlier, Mac Allister was named Premier League Player of
the Month for April, winning the award for the first time.
-
- He scored twice and registered one assist in five matches
for Liverpool last month, helping the club seal their second Premier League
title.
-
- Liverpool's final away game of the 2024-25 season ended
in a 3-2 defeat at Brighton & Hove Albion on Monday night.
-
- During the match, Liverpool achieved a first in club
history as Arne Slot’s team are now the only Reds side ever to have scored in
every one of their away games across a single league campaign.
-
- A run that started on the opening day of 2024-25 with a
2-0 win at Ipswich Town was completed at Amex Stadium with the champions’ final
fixture on the road this season, where Harvey Elliott was the player to provide
the record-setting strike.
