It has been confirmed by Liverpool’s assistant manager that the club’s full back, Trent Alexander-Arnold, will be out for a few weeks after sustaining a knee injury.
The playmaker is set to miss Liverpool’s Carabao Cup semi-final, first leg clash with Fulham due to a knee injury, assistant manager Pep Lijnders has confirmed.
“Trent hyperextended his knee during the last game. So he has a little tear in the lateral ligament of his knee and he will need time to recover. He had a scan, and he will be out for a few weeks, so let’s see after that.”
The playmaker who has been used severally as a midfielder this season has been capped 25 times in all tournaments this season plus 11 goals contribution to his name.
The assistant captain added to Liverpool’s unavailable players list of: Virgil Van Dijk, Kostas Tsimikas, Robertson, Dominik Szoboslai, Mohamed Salah, Joel Matip, and Wataru Endo.
The assistant coach further disclosed that Virgil Van Dijk is back to the team, Szoboslai and Tsimikas are progressing while Robertson could still be away for three months.
“Virgil is back. He did some runs yesterday on the pitch, looked good again. So he will be back in the squad, he recovered well. So it really helped him not to travel to London.
“Dom is progressing well on the pitch, he’s running, so let’s see. Not available for tomorrow.
“And then we have Robbo, he’s almost at the three-month mark, so he will get checked by the surgeon.
“Same for Kostas. Kostas is progressing really well, really quick. So hopefully both of them – Robbo and Kostas – will be back at the end of this month to train with the team.”Trent Alexander-Arnold will miss Liverpool’s Carabao Cup semi-final, first leg clash with Fulham due to a knee injury, assistant manager Pep Lijnders has confirmed.”
