Update Friday 18 April 2025
🎙️| Arne Slot: “Trent is coming back from an injury, he trained with us yesterday and every time he plays with us and trains with us he shows his commitment.
“He has worked so hard to be back already now, and the moment he is on the pitch he shows me what a great football player he is and how much he is involved in us trying to achieve our goals this season.
“He has worked so hard during the whole season and now during his rehab to be back with the team again. The fans of Liverpool, everyone who watches football for the last five, six or seven years, knows he is an incredible full-back, has been an incredible full-back for this football club and let’s see what the future brings.
“[He is] not [ready] to start but if things go well today and tomorrow, he might – might – be on the bench. But definitely not to start because he is out for five-and-a-half weeks and this is today probably his first session with the team.
“It was Wednesday I think he did parts of the team session. So he’s not able to start but hopefully he can be able to join us because for Conor [Bradley], he has been out for a long time so for him to play 90 isn’t easy as well.
“So it would be nice if Trent is with us during the weekend, yes.” (Source: Liverpool FC)
Trent Alexander-Arnold looks to be in significant pain after, what looked like an ankle injury, a major blow for Liverpool.
