Liverpool were given an injury-scare before the March international break when Jurgen Klopp confirmed Trent Alexander-Arnold had picked up a hamstring injury. The only player in the Reds squad without a natural, senior replacement, the timing could not have been worse heading towards a make-or-break month for the club’s quadruple hopes.
Withdrawn from international duty, the right-back has posted updates on his social media of him working hard during the break as he looks to return to fitness as quickly as possible. A positive sign at least, it would appear the 23-year-old won’t be out of action for long.
But having already missed Liverpool’ s FA Cup win over Nottingham Forest, it remains to be seen just how long the defender will be out of action for. Klopp did disclose it would be ‘weeks’ rather than months when speaking at his latest pre-match press conference, but he was unable to offer any further update.
