Arne Slot has supplied an replace on the harm suffered by Trent Alexander-Arnold throughout Liverpool’s win over Aston Villa on Saturday night time.
The Reds’ 2-0 victory, which prolonged their lead on the Premier League summit to 5 factors, was tempered by the sight of their vice-captain limping off halfway via the primary half to get replaced by Conor Bradley.
The 26-year-old gave the impression to be holding his hamstring as he left the pitch, and followers now have a nervous wait to find the severity of the problem.
Slot supplies Trent harm replace
Chatting with reporters in his post-match press convention, Slot admitted to worrying that Trent had requested to go off due to the ache he felt, however he stopped wanting casting any trace of a timeline as to the defender’s doable absence.
The Liverpool head coach mentioned (by way of liverpoolfc.com): “It’s tough to say how critical it’s, but it surely’s at all times critical if a participant goes out within the first half, not as a result of I didn’t like him, however as a result of he requested for it himself. He didn’t ask for it as a result of he was drained; he requested for it as a result of he felt one thing.
“That’s initially not an excellent signal, however it’s at all times tough so shut after the sport to let you know precisely what it’s. Let’s wait and see. I’d be stunned if we’ll see him enjoying for the England nationwide staff this week, however hopefully he can.”
Trent’s harm mightn’t be as unhealthy as first feared
It’ll in all probability be one other day or two earlier than we get a clearer image as to the severity of Trent’s harm, though it’s encouraging that Slot hasn’t fully discounted the 26-year-old’s possibilities of enjoying for England throughout the worldwide break.
Each Liverpool fan would clearly favor that he isn’t concerned with the Three Lions for his or her upcoming Nations League video games after going off tonight, and the pause within the membership season may but work in his and the Reds’ favour.
It goes with out saying that we hope he doesn’t miss any video games for LFC, but when sadly that does occur, at the least there’s a greater than succesful different in Bradley to fill the void.
Fingers crossed that Trent’s harm isn’t as alarming because it initially appeared…
