Liverpool are facing a defensive injury crisis before Sunday’s Carabao Cup final against Newcastle after Trent Alexander-Arnold and Ibrahima Konate were forced off during the Champions League defeat to Paris Saint-Germain.

Joe Gomez and Conor Bradley are currently unavailable due to injuries.

Alexander-Arnold sack slid in for a challenge on PSG’s Vitinha on the touchline, but his right foot got stuck under his body and it appeared to twist on the turf.

Alexander-Arnold was replaced by Jarell Quansah - with deputy right back Bradley currently injured - in the 74th minute and with Liverpool’s tense clash with PSG heading towards extra time.
