Liverpool faces a big match against Newcastle at St James Park, looking to win their second victory in the Premier League season, but they were able to have another worry with their team
Liverpool star Alexis Mac Alistair was not seen in Arne Slot concerns among the 21-man team that arrived in Newcastle due to Premier League clashes at St James Park on Monday night.
The Argentinians were important as they began Liverpool’s Premier League opening game against Bournemouth last week, earning an assist in a 4-2 victory before infiltrating in the 72nd minute.
Mac Allister was doubtful that he would face Cherry, who had just recovered from an injury that locked him up towards the end of last season.
Slots did not mention the former Brighton star as worried about injuries as they released the team’s news at a pre-match press conference.
New signature Jeremie Frimpong is the only player confirmed as an outing, but Conor Bradley has been admitted to be suspect after his recent return to training.

However, there are some concerns that Mac Alistair suffered a recurrence of his injuries after he didn’t find the Liverpool star found a check on a hotel in Tyneside.
However, some fans have noticed that Mac Allister’s wife is hoping for a baby in the coming days – that may explain his absence.
That will come as a blow to Liverpool. Liverpool went missing through suspension in the opening game, his usual midfield partner.
However, Liverpool welcomes Greignbellch for the game, but says the slots will be a big boost for the team – acknowledging his absence against Bournemouth.
“I think he can make a lot of (different) things. At least if he’s the same player as last season, looking back at last season, if he wasn’t there, we’re playing with some really good players, but hurting us (against Bournemouth).
With two injuries to both his right back, he added: “These things happen. At the moment, we’ve only had two injuries, but unfortunately, they’re two in the same position.
“The good thing is there are other players who can play there. Wataru End played there. Dominique Soboschlei and Joe Gomez are definitely one of them, but he’s already playing 20 minutes — that’s already quite a lot.”
