Alisson Becker shares Liverpool star's injury update after HORROR tackle

Alisson Becker has shared his teammate's injury update after the horror tackle in Burnley 0-1 Liverpool. Here's the latest.

Liverpool squeezed past Burnley on Sunday. It was about as difficult a game as the Reds could have imagined, with the hosts piling players behind the ball and making it almost impossible to create anything.

They wanted a point from the match and they were agonisingly close to getting it. Only a ridiculous handball right at the death allowed Mo Salah to step up and slam home a penalty for the winner.

With that, Liverpool's streak of late winners continues. They've now picked up 12 points from four matches all with late goals.

But it wasn't all good news. Alexis Mac Allister, a player who has struggled for fitness this season, went off at half-time, having suffered an awful tackle in the first half.

His ankle was bent to a right-angle, essentially, but he somehow saw out the half. Mac Allister was then withdrawn at the break - and here's the latest on how he's doing.

Arne Slot made it clear after the match that Mac Allister wasn't in a bad way. In fact, he simply took him off early.

Teams can make five substitutions in a match but are only able to stop create a break in play three times. Liverpool had already done that once in the first half in order to swap out Milos Kerkez for Andy Robertson.

Slot, then, didn't want to wait until 60 minutes to create a second one. He'd planned to take the Argentine off at that stage but brought the sub forward in order to avoid a break in play.

“I had already made one substitution in the first half, so if I then take him off at 60 minutes that would be my second one," he said, per Liverpoolfc.com. "If I then want to make [another on] 75 then in the end I can do nothing anymore.

“So, that combined with the fact the tackle was a tackle he felt – and I am not surprised by the fact he felt that tackle, by the way – it was a combination of both."

So Mac Allister was certainly feeling the tackle but Alisson Becker is adamant that his teammate is fine.

“He’s a very strong man," he said after the match. "Nothing’s wrong with him, he was just in a bit of pain.

"I think he’s fine.”

It appears there's nothing to worry about, then, though we wouldn't expect Mac Allister to start against Atlético Madrid on Wednesday.
