Liverpool injury update: Alexis Mac Allister, Federico Chiesa and Harvey Elliott latest news and return dates

Liverpool are enjoying life under Arne Slot.

While there will be tougher tests to come as the Reds begin the post-Jurgen Klopp era, his replacement has started well.

Slot’s Liverpool eased to a 3-0 win over Manchester United before the international break, maintaining their perfect record in the first three games of the new Premier League season.

Still, the Dutchman will need his full squad available as the fixtures start to pile up. The Reds meet Nottingham Forest on Saturday before a trip to AC Milan in the Champions League and then games against Bournemouth and West Ham in the Premier League and Carabao Cup respectively.

With that in mind, here’s a look at the latest Liverpool injuries

Alexis Mac Allister

There was some concern over Alexis Mac Allister over the international break, with Argentina boss Lionel Scaloni confirming the midfielder was in “pain” after a training session.

The Liverpool star was then forced off after scoring for his country against Chile but reports from Fabrizio Romano suggest Mac Allister is expected to be fit for the Forest clash.

Potential return date: Saturday 14 September 2024 vs Nottingham Forest

Federico Chiesa

Federico Chiesa joined Liverpool in a shock move from Juventus over the summer but sat out the win over Manchester United and was not included in the Italy squad over the international break.
