Alexander-Arnold set for festive Liverpool return

Trent Alexander-Arnold is set to return to Liverpool action over the Christmas period.

Alexander-Arnold missed last weekend’s win over Manchester United with a knock picked up late in the Champions League group stage win over Napoli.

The defender has been a mainstay of the Reds’ defence since the start of last season and was part of England’s squad that reached the World Cup semi-final.

Jurgen Klopp confirmed that Alexander-Arnold will miss Friday’s trip to Wolves but remains confident that the 20-year-old will feature over the festive period.

He said: “It looks surprisingly good.

“I think Wolves will still be a bit too early but after that, they told me we can think about him. But for that, he needs to train.

“So far he didn’t train but the pain goes down second by second, which is good, and then in the moment when he can deal with it, he is on the pitch, and in the moment he is on the pitch we’ll make a decision.

“But it looks good for Trent.”
