Liverpool's worst fears have been confirmed with the news that Trent Alexander-Arnold will play no part in Sunday's Carabao Cup final.

The Reds right-back, 26, hurt his ankle on Tuesday night as Arne Slot's side crashed out of the Champions League on penalties after losing 1-0 on the night to Paris Saint-Germain.

It was feared that Alexander-Arnold may have suffered a serious injury after he appeared to twist his knee during a coming together with Vitinha.

And while he is expected to play again this season, he will miss this weekend's final against Newcastle.

Slot confirmed the news in a press conference on Friday, saying: "Maybe Curtis [Jones] can play [right-back].

Trent is not available, he won't be there, he is still to be assessed but we do expect him back before for the season's end."

Alexander-Arnold was tellingly not included in Thomas Tuchel's first England squad, which was confirmed earlier on Friday morning, owing to his injury.

His unavailability will come as a big blow to both Tuchel and Alexander-Arnold given he had started to produce some of his best displays in an England shirt during Lee Carsley's interim reign at the helm.
