Liverpool will be without star right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold for their crucial League Cup semi-final second leg against Tottenham Hotspur on Thursday, manager Arne Slot confirmed. The England international suffered a thigh injury during Liverpool’s 2-0 win over Bournemouth and was forced off in the 70th minute.
Alexander-Arnold, who has played 31 games this season with two goals and seven assists, has begun rehab but remains doubtful for Sunday’s FA Cup clash. Academy graduate Conor Bradley is expected to step in.
Despite Spurs’ defensive injury crisis, Slot remains cautious, emphasizing the need for improvement after Liverpool’s 1-0 first-leg defeat. The Reds will aim to turn the tie around at Anfield and keep their title defense alive.
