Arne Slot is likely to face questions about Trent Alexander-Arnold's future when Liverpool returns to action after a 17-day hiatus.

The Liverpool vice-captain, currently out with an ankle injury, is out of contract at the end of the season, leading to constant speculation about his future.

Real Madrid failed with a mid-season bid for the defender before the January transfer window.

In light of the recent reports about Alexander-Arnold, Slot is expected to be asked for his thoughts at his next pre-match press conference ahead of the Merseyside derby.

However, the Dutch manager may provide an injury update on Alexander-Arnold after the defender picked up an ankle injury against PSG

In his last pre-match press conference before the Newcastle game, Slot confirmed that the England international would miss the League Cup final but was expected to return before the season concludes.

However, Alexander-Arnold had not yet been assessed following his injury, with Liverpool now in a better position to comment on his absence over two weeks later.

Slot will also provide updates on the fitness of Alisson Becker and Ryan Gravenberch, who pulled out of international duty due to injuries, and Ibrahima Konate who picked up a knock while on duty with France
