Ahead of this weekend’s Premier League action, journalist Fabrizio Romano has provided a significant update on the latest injury to an “incredible” Liverpool player.
News & injury updates for Liverpool
Arne Slot has had a fantastic debut for the Reds; since taking over for Jurgen Klopp as Anfield’s manager, the Dutchman has impressed greatly. They have won three straight league games without giving up a goal, which has been made easier by a favourable injury report.
Curtis Jones hasn’t been able to play in any league games this season, which has been disheartening following another successful campaign for Liverpool in 2024–25. It’s unclear if the 23-year-old will be fit for Saturday’s match at Anfield against Nottingham Forest.
Supporters of the Reds have been fervently hoping that their heroes return uninjured from their current international tour, but worries about a few players have surfaced recently.
After having a fitness scare for England’s Under-21 team, Harvey Elliott returned to Merseyside to be evaluated, and Alexis Mac Allister was substituted in Argentina’s 3-0 victory over Chile after scoring the game’s first goal.
Update on Liverpool’s “incredible” ace, Romano
Romano provided a favourable update on Mac Allister’s injury while speaking on X, indicating that he should be ready for Saturday’s match against Forest.
This is great news for Slot, who undoubtedly worried about the Argentine’s availability this weekend given that he has likely established himself as one of the first names on the team sheet since signing a £150,000-per-week contract on Merseyside.
After moving from Brighton to Liverpool this summer, the 25-year-old has been a wonderful addition to the team, earning 49 appearances and demonstrating his ability to play both a No. 6 and a No. 8 position. He was a big fan of Klopp’s when they were together.
Even without Mac Allister, Liverpool should still be able to defeat Forest at home. However, the veteran’s impact in a double pivot with Ryan Gravenberch this season has been immense, and his presence in the lineup will only help the Reds secure a further three points.
