Trent Alexander-Arnold Ruled Out of Carabao Cup Final
Liverpool manager Arne Slot has confirmed that Trent Alexander-Arnold will miss this weekend’s Carabao Cup final due to injury.
The England international picked up the knock during Liverpool’s midweek loss to Paris Saint-Germain at Anfield, immediately raising doubts about his availability for the crucial clash against Newcastle United. While the Reds remain favorites heading into Sunday’s Wembley showdown, Slot would have undoubtedly preferred to have one of his key players fit for the occasion.
Slot Confirms Injury Blow
According to journalist Fabrizio Romano, Slot has assured fans that while Alexander-Arnold will be sidelined for the final, he is expected to return before the end of the season.
However, the timing of this setback is particularly significant, as the 26-year-old’s future at Liverpool remains uncertain. With his contract set to expire this summer, Alexander-Arnold could be approaching his final games for the club unless a new deal is agreed upon.
Liverpool supporters will be hoping Slot’s optimism proves correct and that their star right-back can recover in time for the season’s run-in. If all goes well, Alexander-Arnold could still sign off with a Premier League winners’ medal—whether that marks the end of his Liverpool journey or not.
