Argentina's game against Puerto Rico next week is expected to be moved from Monday (U.S. time; early hours of Tuesday in the U.K.) to the following day, which will mean Alexis Mac Allister coming back later ahead of Liverpool vs Manchester United. Mac Allister is expected to be involved for his country, but Arne Slot will have a decision to make on whether he starts a week on Sunday after a tricky opening to the new season.

"Yes, confirming that the Argentina against Puerto Rico match has been cancelled in Chicago", he said. "He missed a lot of pre-season, so he is ready for one game a week, maybe [for] 70 to 90.

"He played 90 for Argentina and he was really tired after 70. "He said it was fine and good enough to go on, although he limped a lot, so that was more his mentality I think than it was he could actually perform at his best for 15 minutes longer."Story SavedYou can find this story in My Bookmarks.Or by navigating to the user icon in the top right.
