Trent Alexander-Arnold Likely to Be Out for “Days, Not Weeks” Due to Injury

After being substituted in the 70th minute of Liverpool’s match against Bournemouth over the weekend due to what appeared to be a thigh injury, there were concerns that Trent Alexander-Arnold could face a lengthy spell on the sidelines.

However, following scans this week, the news is positive. Paul Joyce of The Times reported that the injury is minor, and the right-back is expected to miss “days rather than weeks,” with a possible return against Everton next Wednesday.

This timeline would likely rule Alexander-Arnold out of Liverpool’s upcoming domestic cup fixtures, including the League Cup match against Tottenham and the FA Cup clash with Plymouth.

If he doesn’t return in time for the Merseyside Derby at Goodison Park, which will be the final derby before Everton moves to their new stadium, Liverpool’s next match will be against Wolves on Sunday, February 16. In his absence, Connor Bradley is expected to step in.
