Just a scare: Mac Allister fit for Finalissima v Spain | OneFootball

The alarms that went off at Liverpool after Alexis Mac Allister’s exit against Wolverhampton seem to be fading. The midfielder from La Pampa, who had to leave the field at the 82nd minute after a tough tackle from Hwang Hee-chan, does not appear to have suffered any serious bone or muscle injuries. According to reports, it is merely a strong blow, which brings relief to the Argentine National Team’s coaching staff ahead of the clash against Spain.

Awaiting a final precautionary test, the former Boca and Argentinos Juniors player is expected to be available for the Finalissima. This medical relief comes at a crucial moment, as the national team begins to map out its road to the 2026 World Cup. After the match against the European champions, Lionel Scaloni’s team is set to face Qatar on March 31, and will then set up base in Kansas during the month of May.

The final stretch of preparations will include two friendlies on U.S. soil, specifically in Texas and Alabama, against Honduras and a European team that did not qualify for the main event. These matches will serve to fine-tune details before the debut in Group J, where the Albiceleste will begin their title defense against Algeria, Jordan, and Austria.
