Before the hour mark at Sheffield United, Alexis Mac Allister had to leave the field due to heavy strapping on his leg, but Jurgen Klopp had some good news to deliver.

Many predicted that the Argentine would start the match on the bench at Bramall Lane because Saturday’s matchup with Crystal Palace was thought to be the better of the two.

However, he began the game as the left-sided No. 8 and was taken out in just three minutes after a strong challenge with William Osula, raising serious concerns about his knee.

Mac Allister continued, but with obvious difficulty. Ten minutes into the second half, he took another knock, and by the sixty-minute mark, he was no longer able to play.

Although he was wearing a lot of strapping on his left knee during the game and iced it when Curtis Jones took his place, his smile at the end suggested that everything was good.

Following the game, Klopp provided a quick update on the No. 10 player, stating: “It’s unfortunate that Macca sustained a cut early on. We simply strapped the wоund as long as it was open.”

Though unpleasant, he was nevertheless able to play. After we sewn it, it became somewhat more constricted, causing him to lose his mobility.

“We need to find out how long that takes. Hopefully not for too long.

Even if this is the best news we could hope for, the midfielder does not have much time to rest and recover because of the short 72-hour travel period to Palace.

Wataru Endo might start his fourth league game of the year as a result of Klopp taking that into consideration when picking his lineup for the early Saturday kickoff.

Joel Matip, the center back, sustained an ACL rupture, which Klopp also confirmed at the same moment. The defender, who participated in the 4-3 victory over Fulham this past weekend, will be out for a considerable amount of time. “Matip’s anterior cruciate ligament was torn,” Klopp continued. It’s regrettable. It’s not what I had anticipated.
