Very SAD News has just been announced for Liverpool star player this evening after LIVERPOOL VS FULHAM Win
Trent Alexander-Arnold hurt his knee in the recent win over Arsenal and will miss the important first game of the semi-final against Fulham, which is bad news for Liverpool.
The right back led the team to a win in the third round of the FA Cup, but he clearly had a hard time against Arsenal, and tests later showed that he had torn the lateral ligament in his knee. Assistant manager Pep Lijnders stated that Alexander-Arnold would be out for about three weeks and emphasised how important he was to creating opportunities for the team.
Even though they lost, Liverpool can take comfort in the fact that they won’t have to play again until January 21, after the first game of the League Cup semi-final.
After playing with ease against Arsenal recently, Conor Bradley has become a possible replacement for Alexander-Arnold. In good news, Lijnders said that Virgil van Dijk would be back for Wednesday’s game after getting over an illness and starting training again on Monday.
Alexander-Arnold’s accident happened at a bad time, but Liverpool is currently on a break, which will give them time to get back to full strength before their next competitive match.
