Arne Slot has confirmed Trent Alexander-Arnold could return for Liverpool against Leicester this weekend, although he won't be ready to make a start.

The right-back returned to training earlier this week to give Liverpool some hope that he might return against Leicester this weekend.

A move to Real Madrid looks the most likely outcome for the 26-year-old, although he looks set to turn out for his boyhood club again before his expected departure.

Whether he will make his return this weekend is still up in the air, with Slot confirming that Alexander-Arnold may only be able to return to the bench against Leicester, with the Liverpool boss ruling out a start for his vice-captain after his return to training.
