Arne Slot handed injury blow ahead of crucial run of games as Liverpool star suffers ‘violent’ tackle while on international duty…

Arne Slot faces a significant setback ahead of a critical series of matches as a Liverpool player endures a ‘violent’ tackle during international duty.

Ahead of an important stretch of games, Arne Slot has received disappointing news as a Liverpool star has been injured from a ‘violent’ tackle while playing for his national team.

Liverpool has encountered a number of injuries this season.

Currently, Slot’s team is leading both the Premier League and Champions League standings, having suffered only one defeat thus far, but they have navigated these challenges without several key players at crucial times.

Diogo Jota began the season as Slot’s preferred striker; however, his propensity for minor injuries has recently sidelined him.

Harvey Elliott was anticipated to be one of the players to thrive under Slot’s management, yet an injury has kept him out for the majority of the season.

Like many managers, Slot has been anxiously observing the international break, knowing that players are at risk of injury in matches beyond his control.

A particularly harsh tackle on a Liverpool player last night could pose immediate concerns.

Alexis Mac Allister represented Argentina in their World Cup qualifying match against Peru this week, playing nearly the full match.

He was substituted late in the game after a tackle from Peru’s Carlos Zambrano.

Argentinian media outlet TyC Sport reported that it was a “tremendous kick” aimed at Mac Allister’s left ankle.

Zambrano was at the center of controversy during the match, having an altercation with Lionel Messi just prior to the tackle on Mac Allister.

Messi and his teammates expressed their frustration with Zambrano throughout the match, labeling him an “idiot.”

While the club has yet to provide an official update on Mac Allister’s condition, it is likely that he will be unavailable for this weekend’s Premier League match against Southampton.

Slot tends to prioritize resting players who have traveled long distances during the international break, particularly those such as Mac Allister, Luis Diaz, and Darwin Nunez, who return from South America with minimal time to recuperate.

Even if he hadn’t been substituted, it is probable that Mac Allister would have been on the bench for the match against Southampton.

With an upcoming fixture against Real Madrid and a significant encounter with Man City, Slot will be eager to ensure that Mac Allister is in peak condition.

Fortunately for the supporters of the Reds, it appears that he has escaped a serious injury.
