VERY SAD Trent Alexander-Arnold News has been announced this evening after LIVERPOOL 3-0 BURNLEY Win
Alexander-Arnold’s absence in the second half caught everyone off guard, as Harvey Elliott replaced him and Curtis Jones moved to right-back.
Elliott’s significant performance, supporting Luis Diaz and Darwin Nunez, demonstrated his relevance despite doubts over Alexander-Arnold’s fitness.
Following the match, Klopp provided an update on Alexander-Arnold’s fitness, confirming his cautious withdrawal due to persisting knee difficulties caused by a previous injury a month ago.
Alexander-Arnold had previously suffered knee ligament damage in the same area, which influenced her decision.
Regarding the victory, Klopp said, “It was the perfect afternoon – besides the Trent thing, obviously.”
Conor Bradley’s absence due to compassionate leave may have accelerated Alexander-Arnold’s comeback, since Bradley’s availability remained unknown, creating a vacuum at right-back.
With Alexander-Arnold likely missing the next encounter against Brentford, Joe Gomez might fill in, depending on his recovery from illness.
Liverpool missed numerous key players against Burnley, including Mo Salah, Alisson, Dominik Szoboszlai, Thiago, Joel Matip, Stefan Bajcetic, and Ben Doak, owing to a variety of short and long-term injuries.
