Andy Robertson has provided somewhat of an update on the physical condition of his Liverpool teammates with Wembly rapidly approaching.

Liverpool’s hopes of European glory were shattered on Tuesday night as Paris Saint-Germain triumphed in a penalty shootout at Anfield, but the pain of elimination has been amplified by concerning injury developments that threaten their domestic cup ambitions.

The defeat, following 120 grueling minutes of high-intensity football, has left Arne Slot facing a defensive crisis ahead of Sunday’s Carabao Cup final against Newcastle United, with Trent Alexander-Arnold almost certainly ruled out and doubts lingering over Ibrahima Konate’s condition.

The match itself was a markedly different affair from the cagey first leg, with Liverpool demonstrating significantly more attacking intent and creating numerous opportunities throughout regular time and the additional 30 minutes.

Beyond the elimination itself, the most significant concern for Liverpool emerged in the 73rd minute when Alexander-Arnold went down after landing awkwardly while attempting to intercept a pass.

The England international immediately signaled his distress and required on-field treatment before being replaced by Jarell Quansah.

The 26-year-old right-back appeared to be in considerable pain as he left the pitch and headed straight down the tunnel, suggesting a potentially serious ankle injury.

Alexander-Arnold is set to undergo a scan to assess the full extent of the damage, but Slot’s post-match comments offered little room for optimism regarding his availability for Sunday’s final.

And adding to potential concerns, Andy Robertson admitted that there plenty of tired legs in the home dressing room at Anfield last night:

“There’s a lot of tired legs in there,” he said to liverpoolfc.com after the game.

“We need to recover properly, we need to get ready to go – but we will be.”

He added on the game:

You can’t question the effort, the endeavour, everything that we put into the game?

It was just two really good teams going at it and when it goes to penalties, it’s always a lottery and unfortunately for us we’re on the wrong side of it.

“I can’t be prouder of the players, how much effort we put in, and it’s just unfortunate that the efforts weren’t rewarded.”

The physical toll of 120 minutes of Champions League football, combined with the emotional disappointment of elimination, presents a significant recovery challenge for Liverpool’s medical and conditioning staff.

With just four days between the PSG defeat and the cup final, managing player fatigue becomes paramount.
