The medical team has announced when Trent Alexander-Arnold is expected to return from injury after the Englishman suffered a serious injury on Saturday night that could have had severe implications for his career.

Trent Alexander-Arnold raised concerns among Liverpool supporters after appearing to suffer a hamstring issue during the 2-0 victory over Aston Villa.

 

The England full-back signaled to his hamstring while receiving attention from the medical team, leading Liverpool to substitute him with Conor Bradley in the 25th minute, as the full extent of the injury remained uncertain.

 

Fortunately, it seems Liverpool dodged a major setback, as Alexander-Arnold quickly identified the problem.

 

Paul Joyce provided an optimistic update on X (formerly Twitter), revealing that the 26-year-old is expected to take advantage of the November international break to rest and recover, increasing his chances of being fit for important matches later this month.

 

Liverpool manager Arne Slot might opt to proceed cautiously by keeping Bradley in the starting lineup against Southampton after the break, particularly considering the more challenging fixtures beyond the match with the Premier League’s bottom team. This decision will depend on Alexander-Arnold’s recovery by November 24.

 

In Alexander-Arnold’s absence, Bradley earned a 6.8/10 rating from Sofascore for his display against Aston Villa, with the following stats:

 

– 63 touches

– 90% pass accuracy (44/49)

– 2/7 ground duels won

– 1/1 aerial duel won

– 3 clearances

 

While his performance was solid, Liverpool will likely seek a more robust defensive showing from the Northern Irish defender in their upcoming match on the south coast.
