This is your summary of the most recent Liverpool news.Nat Phillips will make a decision.Football Insider claims that Liverpool will call up Nat Phillips from his loan with Celtic. The defender has only made eight appearances (four starts) on loan under Brendan Rodgers, indicating that things have not gone well thus far.Phillips arrived at Celtic on a first-half loan, which could have been extended for the entire season. However, considering how few minutes he has played thus far, it might be wiser to make another move.READ MORE: UEFA confirms what Jürgen Klopp already knew, and Liverpool matched Manchester United for a $76 million transfer
Naturally, the Reds have a dearth of center backs, but if Phillips was required to play a lot of minutes at Anfield during the second half of the season while the team was vying for four trophies, that would be cause for concern. Joël Matip is expected to miss at least most of the remainder of the season, and Joe Gomez and Ibrahima Konaté have both sustained injuries as a result of being overused.Although Jarell Quansah has performed admirably, it would be asking a lot of him to be a major player in a possible Premier League title fight at the age of 20. Although Phillips has been Liverpool’s backup plan in the past, if the right player is available, moving quickly to sign a bright, young central defender with big potential would be the best course of action.A schedule for Alexis Mac Allister’s comebackA timeline for Alexis Mac Allister’s potential return has surfaced following what seemed to be a painful injury he sustained against Sheffield United just over a week ago.

“[It’s] a bit more tricky than we thought in the first moment,” Jürgen Klopp said in his latest update on Mac Allister’s recovery. “The [Sheffield United player] stood on his knee, the stud went through the muscle to the bone.
“Now we have to wait until the bone is healed and until Macca can deal with the pain. [It’s] pretty painful. Macca is a super tough guy, we have to make sure from an infection point nothing happens.
“[I’ve] never had this injury with one of my players before, but now we have it. I hope it will not take that long, but I’d like to say it’s day by day. That would look like he could maybe play the next game [vs United], but he will not be ready for that as well. I hope in the next three [to] four days he makes big steps, and then we will see.”
According to Argentine publication Canal Showsport, Mac Allister is expected to be absent for a total of 15 to 20 days. This implies that he won’t be available for either the Boxing Day trip to Burnley or the Arsenal match the following weekend. Though Mac Allister might miss some important games, it appears that Liverpool will have avoided a more serious layoff as long as he is not out for longer than that.
