Trent Alexander-Arnold was forced off during Liverpool’s Champions League last-16 clash with Paris Saint-Germain after suffering a suspected ankle injury - making him a major doubt for Sunday’s Carabao Cup final against Newcastle.
The right back slid in for a challenge on PSG’s Vitinha on the touchline, but his right foot got stuck under his body and it appeared to twist on the turf.
Alexander-Arnold was replaced by Jarell Quansah - with deputy right back Conor Bradley currently injured - in the 74th minute and with Liverpool’s tense clash with PSG heading towards extra time.
