Alexis Mac Allister has a brother, Kevin, who plays for Union Saint-Gilloise. And the Reds are facing the Belgian team in the Europa League group stage clash today (KO 8pm).
The two brothers could lock horns if they both feature in the game. And their father Carlos says he might cry if he sees them share the pitch.
“Will I shed a tear when they walk onto the field together? I hope not, but that is quite possible,” Carlos told Het Nieuwsblad.
“What I expect? Liverpool have many world stars, but Union play very good football. Nothing is impossible.
“We are all very happy that we can see Kevin and Alexis together on the field again, even if it is now as rivals.
“And I will also be there in Liverpool on Thursday, together with my current partner. I am looking forward to it, because I know Anfield, I have already been there.
“Will I advise my sons? No, that is the job of their trainers. I don’t want to interfere too much. I especially hope that they enjoy playing against each other.”
