Arne Slot Confirms Trent Alexander-Arnold Will Miss Crucial Clash Against Spurs
Liverpool manager Arne Slot has confirmed that Trent Alexander-Arnold will be unavailable for the decisive second leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final against Tottenham due to injury.
The absence of the England international, who has been a vital part of Liverpool’s success over the years, presents a major setback as the Reds attempt to overturn a 1-0 deficit at Anfield.
Liverpool Faces a Setback Without Alexander-Arnold
Slot disclosed that Alexander-Arnold experienced discomfort following Liverpool’s recent win over Bournemouth, forcing him to miss Thursday’s high-stakes match.
In his place, Conor Bradley is expected to fill in at right-back. The young defender has shown promise in previous performances, but Liverpool will be hoping their star full-back’s injury doesn’t turn into a long-term issue.
Can Tottenham Take Advantage?
Despite trailing from the first leg, Liverpool remains the favorite to reach the Carabao Cup final. However, Alexander-Arnold’s absence presents an opportunity for Tottenham to exploit Liverpool’s right flank, something manager Ange Postecoglou will likely aim to capitalize on.
This situation also brings up concerns about Liverpool’s future without Alexander-Arnold. With his contract nearing its expiration, the 26-year-old could leave as a free agent this summer. The lack of updates regarding a contract renewal might be unsettling for Liverp
ool supporters.
