Following scans earlier in the week, it was revealed on Wednesday afternoon that Alexander-Arnold would be sidelined for a prolonged amount of time for Liverpool.
This is subsequent to exacerbating a knee injury that sidelined him for three games in January; it is thought that the vice captain returned to action prematurely.
Now, the Reds will likely miss the Carabao Cup final during a protracted period of time without their first-choice right-back.
The timeline for Alexander-Arnold’s return is “not fixed,” according to Paul Joyce of the Times, while Chris Bascombe of the Telegraph notes that he is “hopeful” of making a comeback against Man City on March 10.
The 25-year-old will miss the following five games if the Man City match is scheduled as a return fixture:
In addition, the league matches against Brentford, Luton, and Nottingham Forest will be viewed as must-wins in front of what can prove to be a pivotal encounter at Anfield against Manchester City.
Though some suspicion should be used, it should not be shocking that Alexander-Arnold is aiming to return for that game.
Prior to the season’s last international break, Liverpool will play the Merseyside derby at Goo
dison Park on March 17 following Man City’s visit.
