Trent Alexander-Arnold injury update revealed after Liverpool star limped off against Bournemouth

Trent Alexander-Arnold has avoided any serious injury after limping off in Saturday’s win over Bournemouth, Mail Sport understands. The full back remains a doubt for Thursday’s Carabao Cup semi-final second leg against Tottenham – the Reds are 1-0 down from the first leg in north London – but he is unlikely to be sidelined for a significant period. Alexander-Arnold, 26, went down in the second half holding his thigh and asked to be substituted.

Scans have shown that no serious damage has been caused and the injury will be a matter of days not weeks. Arne Slot will now make a decision whether or not to risk his vice-captain in the Carabao Cup tie, with recent history suggesting he is not minded to rush back players who are not fully fit. Conor Bradley is a capable deputy and put in a good shift at the Vitality Stadium. Trent Alexander-Arnold has avoided a serious injury despite limping off against Bournemouth.
He remains a doubt for Liverpool's Carabao Cup clash against Tottenham on Thursday. Liverpool then travel to Plymouth on Sunday in the FA Cup fourth road. Alexander-Arnold and other first-team heavyweights such as Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah would be expected to be rested – from the start at least – for that match at Home Park. It means that if Alexander-Arnold is not risked against Spurs, next Wednesday’s Merseyside Derby against Everton at Goodison Park would be a realistic return date.
