Klopp delivers amaxzing news regarding Mac Allister’s return.

Jurgen Klopp delivered a nuanced injury update on crucial players ahead of Liverpool’s New Year’s Day match against Newcastle.

While there was positive news for some players, the update on Andy Robertson’s recovery from a shoulder injury was less optimistic.

The manager expressed cautious optimism about Robertson’s potential return in January, implying that the Scottish left-back might not be prepared to resume action as initially anticipated.

This introduces an element of uncertainty to Liverpool’s defensive lineup, highlighting the difficulties they encounter in handling and recuperating from injuries during a pivotal phase in the season.

“Robbo still requires more mobility in his shoulder; given the extensive surgery, he is still far from participating in team training,” Klopp revealed during his pre-Newcastle press conference.

“While he can engage in various activities without fully utilizing the arm, indicating progress, it underscores that there’s still a considerable journey ahead.

Certainly, I believe he will be out for the entire month of January. He needs to gradually approach full fitness.”

There are positive developments concerning Alexis Mac Allister’s potential comeback to the Liverpool squad, providing a ray of hope for the midfield.

The Argentine midfielder has been absent for the last six games as he recovers from a significant cut to the bone on his left knee sustained during the Sheffield United match.

Specialized treatment has been administered, and the decision regarding his participation in team training is scheduled to be determined on Friday. Despite initial expectations pointing towards a return “into the New Year,” the prospect of Mac Allister being available for the upcoming match against Newcastle has generated excitement among fans.

Klopp stated, “We will see what Macca can do today [Friday], if he can join team training or not. The decision is pending, and the doctor is not here yet, or I haven’t seen him yet. We will see.”

He later added, “If Macca could be back for Newcastle, it would be outstanding. After that, he has to be back [due to Endo going to the Asian Cup]!”
