Trent Alexander-Arnold is poised to return to the Liverpool matchday squad against Real Madrid on Wednesday night, but Arne Slot has confirmed the defender will not start the Champions League clash.
The 26-year-old has been sidelined since being forced off with a hamstring injury in the first half against Aston Villa on November 9, causing him to miss the 3-2 win over Southampton as well as England's final two Nations League fixtures during the recent international break.
