The fullback is unlikely to feature in the Reds’ upcoming cup matches but a return against Everton seems possible.

Following his 70th minute substitution against Bournemouth over the weekend with what appeared to be a thigh injury, there were concerns that star Liverpool right back Trent Alexander-Arnold could be set for an extended spell on the sidelines.

However, following scans this week the news is good, with The Times’ Paul Joyce reporting the injury has been judged to be minor and that the player is expected to miss “days rather than weeks,” setting up a potential return against Everton next Wednesday.

That’s a timeline that would be expected rule the 26-year-old who has been linked with a free transfer to Real Madrid in the summer for a pair of upcoming domestic cup matches against Tottenham in the League Cup and Plymouth in the FA Cup.

If he isn’t able to return against Everton in the final Merseyside Derby at Goodison next week before the Blues move to their new stadium, the Reds next play Wolves on Sunday, February 16th. In his place, Connor Bradley will be expected to get the nod.
