Liverpool boss Klopp eases Mac Allister injury concerns

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has eased injury concerns for Alexis Mac Allister after defeat to Bayern Munich in Singapore.

The Argentina midfielder was forced off at half-time of Liverpool's 4-3 defeat due to a minor blow to his knee.

Speaking at his post-match press conference, Klopp said: "Yeah, knee on knee. He could have played on.

"So firstly I got the information that it's too painful, so that was then clear that we will change. There's no need to push him through.

"When I spoke afterwards, he said, 'No, no, I would have been fine.' But we didn't want to go [with] any risks. It's just knee on knee, bruise, that's it. It was fine."
