Not a good sign…’ – Arne Slot provides post-match injury update on Trent Alexander-Arnold

Written by admin

Arne Slot has provided an update on the injury suffered by Trent Alexander-Arnold during Liverpool’s win over Aston Villa on Saturday night.

The Reds’ 2-0 victory, which extended their lead at the Premier League summit to five points, was tempered by the sight of their vice-captain limping off midway through the first half to be replaced by Conor Bradley.

The 26-year-old appeared to be holding his hamstring as he left the pitch, and fans now have a nervous wait to discover the severity of the issue.

Slot provides Trent injury updateSpeaking to reporters in his post-match press conference, Slot admitted to being worried that Trent had asked to go off because of the pain he felt, but he stopped short of casting any hint of a timeline as to the defender’s possible absence.

The Liverpool head coach said (via liverpoolfc.com): “It’s difficult to say how serious it is, but it’s always serious if a player goes out in the first half, not because I didn’t like him, but because he asked for it himself. He didn’t ask for it because he was tired; he asked for it because he felt something.

That’s first of all not a good sign, but it is always difficult so close after the game to tell you exactly what it is. Let’s wait and see. I would be surprised if we will see him playing for the England national team this week, but hopefully he can.”
