Mac Allister trains ahead of Newcastle
In an unexpected boost, Alexis Mac Allister has been involved in full training as the Reds prepare for their upcoming New Year’s Day clash at Anfield.
After Jurgen Klopp hinted “we will see” with regard to the World Cup winner’s fitness ahead of the contest, Mac Allister was seen in training as the squad got ready for another huge Premier League clash.
The Argentine was part of a 23-man squad at Kirkby, but Jarell Quansah was absent having played the full 90 minutes against Burnley on Boxing Day.
Whether Mac Allister is fit enough to feature against the Magpies remains to be seen, but his mere inclusion in training will be enough for Reds supporters to breathe a sigh of relief, particularly given Wataru Endo‘s imminent departure to the Asian Cup.
