Liverpool’s injury problems have worsened with the news that both Trent Alexander-Arnold and Joel Matip are set to miss the next fortnight.
Both players were substituted in Sunday’s 3-2 defeat to Arsenal with Alexander-Arnold withdrawn with an ankle problem at half-time after a collision with Gabriel Martinelli.
Matip was substituted in the second half for Ibrahima Konate and the change was not a tactical one. The centre-back has suffered a calf problem with Anfield sources expecting the defender to miss between two to three weeks.
