Alexis Mac Allister is the latest Liverpool player to reach the knockout stages of an international tournament this summer
The Reds have seven representatives in the Euro knockout stages and have a further two in Copa America after Mac Allister joined Luis Diaz in the final eight
While Argentina qualified as group winners, Diaz’s Colombia can still finish first or second in Group D
Colombia’s future will be decided in their final match against Alisson‘s Brazil on Tuesday.
Mac Allister watched from the bench as his side secured their top spot in a 2-0 win over Peru, a rare break for the midfielder after three successive international starts this summer.
The 25-year-old played the third-most minutes of any Liverpool player in 2023/24 (3,506 minutes)
Argentina will meet the side that finishes second in Group B, currently Ecuador
The match will be played on Thursday evening in the United States, early Friday morning for those in the UK
This means Mac Allister will be expected to miss at least the Reds’ first pre-season game.
With Argentina the favourites to win Copa America, it is more likely that Mac Allister only reports back in early August.
