Liverpool star ‘playing with painkilling injections for weeks’ and set to miss two upcoming matches

Liverpool’s injury concerns around Trent Alexander-Arnold emerged following their 2-0 victory over Aston Villa.

The right-back had to leave the pitch halfway through the first half due to a hamstring injury, signaling promptly to head coach Arne Slot that he was unable to continue.

In his absence, Conor Bradley stepped in as Liverpool secured the win, extending their lead to five points ahead of Manchester City in the Premier League standings. Coach Slot acknowledged that Alexander-Arnold’s inclusion in the England squad for the upcoming international break is highly improbable. This likely means he will miss England’s Nations League matches against Greece and the Republic of Ireland.
