Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has revealed that Trent Alexander-Arnold will undergo a scan after sustaining a hamstring injury during their 3-0 victory against Aston Villa at Anfield. The right-back was substituted in the 90th minute due to the injury.
Klopp expressed concern over Alexander-Arnold’s injury and stated that the club will have to wait for the results of the scan to determine the severity of the issue. The manager emphasized the importance of being cautious with injuries, especially during a congested fixture schedule.
The 22-year-old defender has been a key player for Liverpool this season, featuring in 27 Premier League matches and providing four assists. His absence would be a blow to the team as they continue to fight for a top-four finish.
Liverpool has been plagued by injuries throughout the season, with several key players spending significant time on the sidelines. Klopp mentioned that the club has been unfortunate in this regard, but they have to deal with the situation and make the best out of it.
Despite the injury concerns, Liverpool put on an impressive performance against Aston Villa, securing a comfortable victory. Goals from Sadio Mane, Georginio Wijnaldum, and Mohamed Salah helped the team claim all three points and keep their hopes of qualifying for the Champions League alive.
With just a few matches remaining in the season, every point is crucial for Liverpool. They currently sit in sixth place in the Premier League table, six points behind fourth-placed Chelsea. Klopp’s side will need to maintain their form and hope for slip-ups from their rivals to secure a top-four finish.
In addition to their domestic campaign, Liverpool is also set to face Real Madrid in the quarterfinals of the Champions League. The first leg will take place on April 6, and Klopp will be hoping to have a fully fit squad available for the crucial European tie.
As the season reaches its climax, Liverpool will be hoping for a positive outcome from Alexander-Arnold’s scan and a swift recovery for the talented right-back.
