Kostas Tsimikas has welcomed Trent Alexander-Arnold back to Liverpool training with open arms with the right-back having missed the last five weeks due to injury.

During the Champions League last-16 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain - back in early March - Alexander-Arnold fell awkwardly on his knee which saw him subbed off swiftly after. Arne Slot later revealed he was hopeful he would be able to return before the end of the season and that looks set to be the case after an update.


Earlier this week, the England international was spotted back in team training - with the Liverpool boss delivering an update in his pre-Leicester press conference. "Trent is coming back from an injury, he trained with us yesterday and every time he plays with us and trains with us he shows his commitment," Slot revealed.

"[He is] not [ready] to start, but if things go well today and tomorrow, then he might, might, be on the bench. But definitely not to start because he is out for five-and-a-half weeks - and this is today probably his first session with the team.

"It was Wednesday that I think he did parts of the team session, so he's not able to start, but hopefully he can be able to join us because for Conor [Bradley], he has been out for a long time so for him to play 90 isn't easy as well. So it would be nice if Trent is with us during the weekend, yes."

Despite the fact he has not featured in any of Liverpool's last four games, Alexander-Arnold has remained in the headlines - with his future a hugely trending topic. The 26-year-old was joined by Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk as Liverpool stars heading into the 2024/2025 season with their contracts expiring. The latter duo have since penned extensions but Alexander-Arnold has yet to with the expectation being he will join Real Madrid as a free agent this summer.

Although he appears set to depart Anfield - at least as things stand - it's very clear the relationship between him and current teammates is still strong with that evidenced by a message from Kostas Tsimikas. On Instagram, the Greece international posted a photo of himself and Alexander-Arnold all smiles in training - with a red heart emoji as the caption.

The boyhood Liverpool fan has also been active on social media - for the first time since his injury - with pictures of himself inside Melwood alongside Ibrahima Konate and Dominik Szoboszlai. He then also uploaded an image of him back out in training on the grass.
