Liverpool player on wrong end of horror challenge as his teammate calls perpetrator an ‘idiot’

Liverpool fans may have been wincing at the sight of one Reds player crashing to the turf after he was on the wrong end of a horrendous challenge in international action on Tuesday night.

Alexis Mac Allister went into Argentina’s double header in October off the back of a groin injury but still played that month, and he came through all but the few minutes of second half stoppage time in their overnight win against Peru, despite a scare for LFC supporters in the closing stages in Buenos Aires.
