Trent Alexander-Arnold will be in the Liverpool squad to face Brighton, despite the controversial reaction to his appearance against Arsenal last weekend.
Following the announcement that Alexander-Arnold would be leaving Liverpool at the end of the season, the right-back was booed by many at Anfield.
Despite the reaction to his presence at Anfield, Alexander-Arnold has been included in the Liverpool squad to play away against Brighton, reports Merseyside journalist David Lynch on his Substack.
While Conor Bradley is likely to start the match, Alexander-Arnold will be on the bench and could play a part.
Liverpool’s 2-2 draw against Arsenal was the first home match since the No. 66 announced his departure, likely to Real Madrid.

While many remained quiet and some even clapped, a large amount of fans booed Alexander-Arnold as he came on in the 67th minute.
This has since prompted some players, including Mo Salah, to question fans’ behaviour.
Asked if he felt sad hearing Alexander-Arnold being booed at Anfield, Salah told Sky Sports: “Absolutely.
“I was surprised, because it’s not how we react as Liverpool fans. We shouldn’t act this way with anyone.
“We always appreciate the people that came here, even for six months. Imagine someone who gave you his all for 20 years, it shouldn’t be like this.
“I hope that will change in the next game, Brighton or the last game of the season, because he deserves a farewell.”
