Liverpool’s Trent Alexander-Arnold out for weeks with hamstring injury

Liverpool’s Trent Alexander-Arnold is set to spend weeks on the sidelines with a hamstring injury. The right-back will miss England’s friendlies against Switzerland and the Ivory Coast this month as well as club fixtures.

“Trent is out with hamstring so he will not be part of England as well,” Liverpool’s manager, Jürgen Klopp, said before his side’s FA Cup quarter-final at Nottingham Forest on Sunday. “No good news so we will see how long that takes.”

Asked whether Alexander-Arnold was looking at weeks out rather than days, Klopp replied: “Yes.”

Liverpool are one point behind the Premier League leaders, Manchester City, in the title race, with their next game in the competition at home to Watford on 2 April. They are due to play at City the following weekend before facing Aston Villa, Manchester United, Everton and Newcastle across the rest of April in addition to Champions League matches.
