Trent Alexander-Arnold has sustained a major injury, dealing a severe blow to Liverpool. The influential right-back, a crucial part of the squad, is now facing an extended spell on the sidelines, leaving fans stunned and deeply disappointed.

Liverpool’s vice-captain, Trent Alexander-Arnold, suffered an ankle injury during the Champions League match against Paris Saint-Germain at Anfield, leading to his substitution in the 73rd minute. Manager Arne Slot has confirmed that Alexander-Arnold will miss the upcoming Carabao Cup final against Newcastle United. citeturn0search2

The injury has been identified as a high ankle sprain, which typically requires a recovery period of six to eight weeks. However, early assessments suggest no serious damage, and there is optimism that he will return before the end of the season. citeturn0search14

Liverpool’s defensive options are further limited, with Conor Bradley and Joe Gomez also sidelined due to injuries. This situation may lead to midfielder Curtis Jones being deployed as a right-back in the final. citeturn0search9

On a positive note, Ibrahima Konate, who was substituted in the same match due to a knock, is expected to be fit for the final. citeturn0search12

Following the Carabao Cup final, Liverpool has a 17-day break before their next match, which could aid in the recovery of injured players.

This period of rest may allow Conor Bradley sufficient time to recover ahead of the Merseyside derby against Everton on April 2.

The team will continue to monitor Alexander-Arnold’s progress, aiming for his return in the latter stages of the season.
