Trent Alexander-Arnold ruled out of Carabao Cup final to hand Liverpool injury crisis

Trent Alexander-Arnold has been ruled out of the Carabao Cup final but Liverpool manager Arne Slot believes the right-back’s season is not over.

Alexander-Arnold limped off in Tuesday’s Champions League defeat to Paris Saint-Germain and, as he is out of contract in the summer and a target for Real Madrid, could have played his last Liverpool game if he were ruled out for more than two months.

But while he will not face Newcastle at Wembley on Sunday, Slot is confident he will be back later in the campaign.

He said: “Trent is indeed not available, but he is still to be assessed for how long it will take but we do expect him back before the end of the season.”
