Liverpool Receives Encouraging Injury Updates, but Ben Doak Faces Minor Setback
Liverpool has been given positive news regarding injuries, as Trent Alexander-Arnold’s thigh problem is not as serious as initially feared.
The vice-captain will need a short period of treatment and is likely to miss the Carabao Cup semi-final second leg against Tottenham. However, he is expected to recover quickly and avoid an extended spell on the sidelines.
In his absence, Conor Bradley is set to step in, ensuring Liverpool remains competitive for the crucial fixture.
Meanwhile, young winger Ben Doak has suffered a minor training setback while on loan at Middlesbrough, briefly halting his impressive Championship campaign.
The Scottish prospect has been in excellent form this season, contributing to 10 goals—scoring three and assisting seven—in 24 league appearances.
Doak is scheduled to return to Liverpool this summer, and The Athletic reports that he is being considered for a place in Arne Slot’s first-team plans for next season.
Doak’s Injury Not a Major Concern
Middlesbrough manager Michael Carrick provided an update on Doak’s condition ahead of their upcoming fixture against Sheffield United.
While the 19-year-old is expected to be sidelined for a few weeks rather than just a few days, Carrick reassured supporters that the injury is not severe.
“He felt discomfort in his thigh during training, and we’ll have to monitor his progress. It looks like it will be weeks rather than days, but nothing too long-term,” Carrick told BBC Radio Tees.
With 16 games remaining in the Championship season, Middlesbrough is just outside the playoff spots, trailing West Brom in sixth place due to goal difference.
Liverpool’s Squad in Strong Shape
With Alexander-Arnold’s injury not causing major concern and the majority of the squad in good condition, Liverpool remains well-prepared for the challenges ahead.
The club will take a cautious approach to his recovery, but overall, the team is in a strong position to continue competing for success ac
ross multiple competitions.
