Liverpool news: Jurgen Klopp makes trophy U-turn and Champions League confession

Liverpool will be without key defender Trent Alexander-Arnold for the next few games but a teammate has already said he is ready to step up in his place.

Caoimhin Kelleher has been the Reds' domestic cup goalkeeper so far this season, helping the team win the Carabao Cup last month and started both games in the FA Cup so far this season. But manager Jurgen Klopp will make a change when his side meet Nottingham Forest on Sunday.

Klopp's side learnt their UEFA Champions League quarter-final fate on Friday and the manager has since admitted he wanted to avoid two teams in the draw.

Here are Mirror Football's latest Liverpool headlines.

HAVE YOUR SAY! How will Liverpool cope with Trent? Let us know in the comments section.

Robertson's ready says Klopp

Liverpool will miss defender Trent Alexander-Arnold while he recovers from a hamstring injury which is likely to keep him out for 'weeks.'

Though he plays on the opposite flank to Alexander-Arnold, Andrew Robertson has said that he will stand up in the absence of his fullback partner while he is out of the team. Between the two stars, they have a combined 23 assists with the England international slightly ahead of his Scottish counterpart with 13 assists.

Manager Jurgen Klopp confirmed what Robertson said as he looks to 'deliver' for the team.

However, Reds boss Klopp may have revealed how seriously he is taking the chance of winning four major trophies in one season with his team selection on Sunday.

A change in goal is expected when Liverpool play Nottingham Forest, a change of the norm from what Klopp usually does in cups.

Those teams can only face Liverpool if they reach the final, along with Klopp's men.
