Report suggests reason why Alexis Mac Allister trained alone ahead of Liverpool’s Sunday clash

Alexis Mac Allister’s absence from Liverpool’s training session on Wednesday raised concerns among fans about a potential injury. However, a recent report has seemingly put those fears to rest.

The Liverpool squad, led by Arne Slot, trained at the AXA Training Centre as they ramp up preparations for Sunday’s Premier League match against West Ham, aiming to bounce back from last weekend’s loss to Fulham.

Trent Alexander-Arnold and Joe Gomez were also missing as they continue to recover from ankle and hamstring issues, respectively. Alisson Becker, however, returned to training after sitting out the last two games due to concussion protocols following a knock during international duty in March.

Why wasn’t Mac Allister training with the team?
According to the Liverpool Echo, the Argentine midfielder didn’t join the main group on Wednesday, but there’s reportedly “no major concern” over his condition. Instead, he was completing an individual training programme indoors.

With no midweek fixtures remaining this season and matches falling only on Sundays, Liverpool players now have more flexibility for personalized sessions. This setup could be particularly beneficial for Mac Allister, who’s had a heavy workload. He’s started nearly every Premier League match since December and has played more minutes than all but three players in the squad, including international travel in March.

The hope is that the 26-year-old will be fully fit and ready for action against West Ham, with Liverpool looking to respond strongly after the Fulham defeat, as they push to secure the Premier League title.
