Football News – Trent Alexander-Arnold groin injury could rule Liverpool defender out of Man City game

A groin injury means Liverpool defender Trent Alexander-Arnold is in doubt for Sunday’s Premier League home game against Manchester City.

The right-back started Liverpool’s 3-3 draw at Brentford last Saturday, but did not travel with the team for Tuesday’s Champions League game in Porto.

“Unfortunately, shortly after practice he came in early and we did a new assessment,” said Klopp. BT Sport.

“He’s out for today for sure and it doesn’t look good for the Manchester City game. He thought it was tight but it’s a bit more than that.

“It’s always a matter of fresh legs or rhythm, we decided this time for the rhythm. Normally you have to turn but in this situation we don’t have to boys can start over.”

Alexander-Arnold missed Euro 2020 with injury after a debate over whether he would make Gareth Southgate’s final 26-man squad.

Prior to the summer’s hamstring injury, Alexander-Arnold had only missed 13 games in three seasons due to various issues, including a calf problem last November.
