Liverpool face Tottenham this week in what will be a huge game for the Reds in their quest to win the quadruple.

The Anfield side welcome the north London side for the second-leg of their League semi-final series against Tottenham, with Liverpool currently 1-0 down having suffered a surprise defeat against Spurs last month in the English capital.

To make matters worse for the Merseyside giants, Liverpool will be without Trent Alexander-Arnold, who on Saturday picked up a knock against AFC Bournemouth having already endured a ‘woeful’ performance on the south coast.

With the size of tomorrow night’s game already apparent, Liverpool losing any more players through injury would be a massive blow, and Arne Slot has now revealed if anyone else in the squad has picked up any problems.

Speaking to the press ahead of Thursday’s clash, Slot confirmed that Alexander-Arnold is Liverpool’s only injury concern, with the Reds set to have a full squad to face the 14th-place Premier League side in the League Cup.

With Conor Bradley likely viewing this match against Tottenham as his golden chance to make a claim for himself in the Liverpool starting XI for next season, Alexander-Arnold’s absence could be a good thing if the Northern Ireland international ends up performing.

Yet aside from the right-back, Liverpool are in good shape to face Tottenham, with Slot saying: “We don’t have – apart from Trent now for a few days – any injuries, not long-term injuries in moments that the window was open.

But at the moment apart from Trent they are all available again today, so there’s not a reason to add something to the team unless you have a chance in the market.”

Alexander-Arnold has proven to be one of Liverpool’s best players this season, and despite the defender’s injury not being as serious as first feared, the fullback missing this week’s League Cup semi-final will sting for the Reds.

Slot said when asked if Alexander-Arnold will be available for tomorrow’s clash against Tottenham: “He is going to miss the game tomorrow and we have to see if he’s able to play Sunday.

But what we do know is he’s not available for tomorrow.

“You saw that he left the pitch with a bit of pain in his leg but he’s already on the pitch, not with the team but with the rehab coach.

Let’s see how long it’ll take but he won’t be available tomorrow.”
