Trent Alexander-Arnold set to miss Carabao Cup game against Tottenham after thigh injury
Liverpool had a quiet winter transfer window, as they didn’t make a single addition to the squad.
However, there is no need for concern for the Reds’ supporters as their side already boast plenty of talent in their squad.
There is also very positive news regarding their two biggest stars, as Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk have reportedly put pen to paper on new deals to extend their stay in Merseyside.
Liverpool are currently leading the Premier League table and are also alive in the other three competitions this season.
Arne Slot’s men will take on Tottenham Hotspur in the Carabao Cup semi-finals on Thursday, hoping to overturn a 1-0 deficit from the first leg.
However, Trent Alexander-Arnold could miss the important game after sustaining a thigh injury against Bournemouth last weekend, per The Guardian.
The good news is the 26-year-old has avoided serious injury and is expected to be out for a few days only.
Alexander-Arnold’s future
While Salah and Van Dijk have seemingly agreed new deals, Alexander-Arnold’s future is still a source of speculation.
The England international will be out of a contract in June, but he is yet to confirm where his future lies beyond this season.
Real Madrid submitted a bid to sign the player in January, but Liverpool turned down the offer.
Reports from Spain suggest Alexander-Arnold has already agreed to play for Madrid from next season, but nothing is official yet.
The right-back is a generational talent who has achieved enormous success with the Reds.
He has spent all his career so far at Liverpool, making 341 appearances across all competitions and lifting the Premier League and Champions League trophies.
Alexander-Arnold has also been a key player under Slot this campaign, starting 21 matches in the English top-flight and making seven goal contributions.
