Arne Slot has offered an replace on the harm suffered by Trent Alexander-Arnold throughout Liverpool’s win over Aston Villa on Saturday evening.
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 by way of the primary half to get replaced by Conor Bradley.
The 26-year-old seemed to be holding his hamstring as he left the pitch, and followers now have a nervous wait to find the severity of the difficulty.
Slot supplies Trent harm replace
Talking to reporters in his post-match press convention, Slot admitted to being concerned 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 attainable absence.
The Liverpool head coach mentioned (through liverpoolfc.com): “It’s tough to say how severe it’s, however it’s all the time severe 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 to begin with not a very good signal, however it’s all the time tough so shut after the sport to inform you precisely what it’s. Let’s wait and see. I might be shocked if we’ll see him taking part in 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 probabilities of taking part in for England through 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 would possibly 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, no less than 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 seemed…
