Liverpool are currently sweating over the fitness of Harvey Elliott and Alexis MacAllister after official statements were made.
Elliott has withdrawn from the England Under-21 team during the international break.
The attacking midfield player is sent back to Liverpool for a “extended medical evaluation.” Elliott, the young Lions’ captain, will miss their European Championship 2025 qualifier against Northern Ireland on Friday and their friendly match against Austria on Monday.
According to Liverpool World, an England statement said: “Matthew Cox, Tom Fellows and Jonathan Rowe have joined England MU21s ahead of their upcoming fixtures against Northern Ireland and Austria.
“Harvey Elliott, Omari Hutchinson, Jaden Philogene and Sam Tickle initially reported to St George’s Park earlier this week but have now returned to their clubs for further medical assessment.”
Without a doubt, Slot will be hoping that Alexis Mac Allister does not return with an injury. The midfielder, who has played every minute of this season, has now travelled to represent Argentina. The 25-year-old, nevertheless, hasn’t trained ahead of tomorrow’s (01.00 BST) World Cup qualifier against Chile.
Nevertheless, the head coach will want every member of his team ready as Liverpool’s Carabao Cup and Champions League campaigns get underway later this month.
