Trent Alexander-Arnold is set to miss Liverpool’s Carabao Cup semi-final.
Alexander-Arnold underwent a scan on a thigh issue picked up during the win over Bournemouth which threatened to rule him out of several crucial fixtures.
The Reds face Tottenham in Thursday’s semi-final return leg before taking on Everton in the final Merseyside derby at Goodison Park just six days later.
Arne Slot confirmed that while Alexander-Arnold is out for the Spurs clash, he has not ruled out a potential return in Sunday’s FA Cup trip at Plymouth.
“He is going to miss the game tomorrow,” confirmed Slot.
“Then we have to see if he is able to play on Sunday, but what we do know is that he is not available for tomorrow.
“You saw that he left the pitch with a bit of pain in his leg, that’s why he misses the game tomorrow.
“But he’s already on the pitch, not with the team, but with the rehab coach.
“Let’s see how long it will take, but he’s not going to be available tomorrow.”
