Slot explained that Mac Allister had to leave the training pitch two days ago and that the injury is not the biggest concern, but rather the fact that he missed out on the pre-season due to his long absence. Slot believes that players who missed pre-season training may struggle to adapt to the intense pace of the game.

Slot is hopeful that Mac Allister will be available for the Arsenal match, but is taking a cautious approach, considering the risk of injury. With a long season ahead, Slot wants to ensure that Mac Allister is fully fit before returning to the team.
