Alexis Mac Allister has given a hint over his fitness situation to Liverpool after being withdrawn at half time during Sunday's victory over Burnley.

The Argentina star required treatment after being on the receiving end of a tackle from Clarets star Lesley Ugochukwu.

Mac Allister stayed on the pitch until the interval before being replaced by Conor Bradley at the break, with Dominik Szoboszlai moving into midfield following the change.



Liverpool managed to win the game thanks to a stoppage time penalty from Mohamed Salah, which was awarded after a handball from Hannibal Mejbri.

The Argentina international has experienced a stop-start beginning to the campaign after missing the conclusion of last term with an unspecified injury, reports the Liverpool Echo.

After returning during pre-season following a three-month absence, a minor setback then ruled Mac Allister out of Liverpool's 3-2 triumph at Newcastle United.

The 26-year-old appears to have eased concerns regarding his latest knock, with the midfielder eagerly anticipating the Reds' Champions League opener against Atletico Madrid on Wednesday evening.

“A hard-fought away win, good work by the team,” wrote Mac Allister on Instagram in a post to his 8.5million followers.

“Time to recover my ankle and think about a new Champions League campaign.

That’s more his mentality that he could actually perform at his best for 15 minutes longer.

“A combination of him being injured, me not wanting to use a second substitution after 60 minutes and us not playing so well, by the way, so bring Dom [Szoboszlai] into the midfield more, players who can attack the box, so a lot of arguments.”
