Liverpool injury update: Trent Alexander-Arnold, Alisson and Diogo Jota latest news and return dates

Reds face huge games against Real Madrid and Manchester City this week

Liverpool face two huge games this week as the fixtures start to pile up thick and fast.

Arne Slot’s side welcome Real Madrid and Manchester City to Anfield in the Champions League and Premier League respectively, looking to continue what has been an excellent start to the season.

Top of the pile in Europe and a stunning eight points clear of City ahead of their showdown on Sunday, things couldn’t be going much better for the Dutchman in the opening few months of his tenure.

Sunday’s dramatic 3-2 win over Southampton underlined their fighting spirit to go along with their obvious quality and that will no doubt be needed during another huge week.

Battling across a number of fronts, Slot will need his full squad available.

With that in mind, here’s a look at the latest Liverpool injuries.

Trent Alexander-Arnold

Trent Alexander-Arnold was forced off during the win over Aston Villa before the international break with a hamstring injury and subsequently pulled out of the England squad.

He then sat out the win over Saints, though Slot did suggest there was hope the right-back could return soon.

“Trent isn’t training with us yet, but he is getting there so we expect him to be back with us soon,” he said last week.

When asked if he could return for the double-header, Slot replied: “With Trent, it’s going to be in between.”
