Liverpool have suffered a major blow ahead of the Carabao Cup final with Trent Alexander-Arnold set to miss the clash with Newcastle at Wembley.
The England right-back limped off in the second half of normal time as the Reds were eliminated from the Champions League last 16 on penalties by Paris Saint-Germain at Anfield on Tuesday night, having hurt himself making a challenge near the byline.
Alexander-Arnold received lengthy treatment and was replaced by Jarell Quansah, with Liverpool then receiving another huge defensive setback in extra time against PSG as Ibrahima Konate went down twice in quick succession before hobbling off himself as Wataru Endo was summoned from the bench.
And while Konate should be available for the Carabao Cup final after Arne Slot revealed he was just suffering from tiredness, runaway Premier League leaders Liverpool are poised to be without Alexander-Arnold as they bid to claim their first silverware of the season on Sunday.
“Konate was just tired but with Trent I’d be surprised if he played on Sunday,” Slot admitted in his post-match press conference.
