Liverpool have received a timely boost ahead of the new season as Alexis Mac Allister has returned to full training.

The midfielder sat out of the Reds' final games of last season against Brighton & Hove Albion and Crystal Palace after Arne Slot revealed that he had played through the latter part of the campaign with an injury and needed to make a complete recovery.

However, the 26-year-old's issue appeared that it was worse than first feared when he sat out of the Premier League champions' first games of pre-season against Preston North End and AC Milan.

Despite missing the 4-2 defeat to AC Milan at Kai Tak Sports Park Stadium on Saturday, Mac Allister was part of the Liverpool squad that travelled to Japan for the second leg of the pre-season tour over the weekend.
