Mac Allister bravely moved across to block a powerful shot from Leipzig defender Benjamin Henrichs.

The ball smacked the Argentine in his crotch and knocked him to the floor.

Mac Allister appeared to be in some discomfort as he received assistance from a physio – he even left the field of play momentarily before returning.

BBC commentator Steve Wilson joked in response, saying: “That will sting. I don’t think he’ll be getting on a horse anytime soon.”

Mac Allister was able to complete the 90 minutes as Liverpool won 1-0 courtesy of a well worked Darwin Nunez goal in the first half.

Arne Slot has now won 11 of his 12 games in charge and the Reds are well placed to qualify for the knock-out phase of the Champions League.

They are second in the table behind Aston Villa but boast a 100 per cent record having also beat AC Milan and Bologna.

Mac Allister was rested for most of the game against Chelsea last weekend after returning from international duty in South America.
