Trent Alexander-Arnold's time on sidelines confirmed after Liverpool's Luis Diaz blow

Trent Alexander-Arnold will join Liverpool team-mate Luis Diaz in missing the Reds' midweek trip to Ibrox after suffering an injury at Arsenal on Sunday.

The England defender didn't re-emerge for the second half at the Emirates Stadium as Jurgen Klopp's side suffered their second league defeat of the campaign. Colombia forward Diaz had already been forced off a few minutes before the break, while Liverpool lost Arthur Melo to injury in the lead-up to the game in north London.

Diaz faces a lengthy spell on the sidelines, with the former Porto star expected to be out of action until after the World Cup. While Alexander-Arnold's absence is not expected to be as long, Klopp will still face some time without one of the most valued members of his squad.

"Trent never, in seven years, went off if he could have played on," Klopp said after the defeat. He was in too much pain, it started swelling immediately, so we will have to see."

The England international suffered an ankle problem in north London, with a scan needed to determine the extent of the injury. And now, according to The Times, he is definitely unavailable for the game against Rangers in Glasgow and is thought to be a "major doubt" for Sunday's meeting with reigning Premier League champions Manchester City.

Joe Gomez was brought on to replace Alexander-Arnold in Sunday's 3-2 loss. However, summer signing Calvin Ramsay could be another option, with the Scottish youngster having made a Liverpool bench for the first time in the home victory against Rangers last week.
