Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson has announced the addition of Alexis Mac Allister to the club's leadership group, which has expanded to six members. This change comes as the team transitions under new manager Arne Slot, following the departures of former captain Jordan Henderson and vice-captain James Milner in 2023. Alisson, who was part of the original five-person leadership group established by Jurgen Klopp, emphasized the importance of sharing responsibilities among the players, especially with many young and new members joining the squad.
