Liverpool's key player Alexis Mac Allister has made a significant return to full training, signaling a positive step in his recovery from a recent injury. This development is crucial for manager Arne Slot as the team ramps up its preparations for the 2025-26 Premier League season.

The Reds have commenced their pre-season tour in the Far East, having arrived in Hong Kong to begin intensive training sessions. Liverpool’s squad will spend approximately one-and-a-half weeks in Asia, with plans to play two friendly matches: first against AC Milan in Hong Kong, followed by a game against Yokohama F. Marinos in Japan. This tour also offers an opportunity for the club to engage with supporters internationally.

Amidst these preparations, the return of Mac Allister to full training is a significant morale boost for the squad. The midfielder, who had been sidelined due to injury, appears close to regaining full fitness through individual training programs conducted in Hong Kong. His presence on the training field not only enhances Liverpool’s tactical options but also demonstrates progress in the club’s ongoing fitness management efforts.

With 29 players currently on the tour, Slot’s primary focus remains on building team cohesion and implementing his methods through rigorous training sessions held at the Kai Tak Sports Park. The pre-season campaign reflects Liverpool’s ambition to defend their Premier League title, underscoring the importance of a fully fit squad, including the influential Mac Allister.
