The midfielder was due to serve a one-game suspension against Everton in the Merseyside derby last weekend, having picked up five Premier League bookings. But with the showdown being postponed because of Storm Darragh, the ban will now be in place when Fulham visit Anfield on Saturday. Mac Allister is also ruled out of the Reds’ Champions League fixture against Girona tomorrow. The Argentina international has been booked three times during the league phase and must sit out.
And for the clash against the Spanish side, Arne Slot’s side appear they will also be without Tyler Morton, who missed today’s open training session at the AXA Training Centre.
The 22-year-old has made only two appearances so far this season, both in the Carabao Cup. But Morton has been a regular in the match-day squad and made eye-catching progress the previous two campaigns on loan at Blackburn Rovers and Hull City.
Liverpool are top of the Champions League standings having won all five games so far. As a result, the Girona match could have been a chance for Morton to get some minutes and give some rest to either Ryan Gravenberch or Curtis Jones. However, given that the academy product did not train, it’s looking unlikely he’ll make the trip to Catalonia.
