Trent Alexander-Arnold has handed Liverpool an injury boost after Arne Slot confirmed he could return from injury away at Leicester City on Sunday.

The defender has missed the Reds' last four matches with an ankle injury having been forced off in last month's Champions League defeat to Paris Saint-Germain.

The 26-year-old remains out of contract at the end of the season and is considering an offer from Real Madrid when his current deal expires.



Alexander-Arnold remains Liverpool's only senior player out of contract after Virgil van Dijk joined Mohamed Salah in signing a new two-year extension.

Slot sidestepped questions about the England international's future ahead of Sunday's clash with Leicester - but confirmed Alexander-Arnold could make his comeback on the bench against the Foxes following his recent return to training after injury.

"I think you would be surprised if I answer differently," the Dutchman said of the defender's future.

He has shown his commitment and he shows me what a player he is when he is on a pitch and how much he works hard to be back with the team and the fans of LFC, everyone who watches football knows he is an incredible full-back for this club, so let's see what the future brings."

Asked about his fitness, Slot added: "(He's) not (ready) to start.

He's not able to start but hopefully he is able to join us.

"First session with the team was Wednesday, so not able to start but let's see if he can join us, would be nice if he is with us.

"Conor (Bradley) has been out a long time as well so not easy for him to play 90.

It'll be nice if he's ready to join us."
