After leaving Saturday night’s 2-0 victory over Aston Villa on the field in pain after 25 minutes, Trent Alexander-Arnold will likely miss England’s Nations League matches against the Republic of Ireland and Greece.
‘It is always a serious if a player goes out in the first half,’ manager Arne Slot said as Alexander-Arnold limped down the tunnel, gripping his hamstring, and Conor Bradley came on for him. He sensed a stirring. That bodes poorly.
So soon after a game, it’s hard to give you an honest assessment. Hopefully, he is able to play for England this week, though I would be amazed to see him do so.Liverpool moved up to a five-point lead over Manchester City, who lost 2-1 to Brighton earlier on Saturday, with to goals from Darwin Nunez and Mo Salah.
Despite going through a tough patch, Liverpool managed to beat Brighton, Bayer Leverkusen, and draw Arsenal.On November 24, Liverpool will host Southampton in their next match.
If Alexander-Arnold can recover in time for November 27’s Champions League match against Real Madrid and December 1’s crucial Premier League match at home against Liverpool, Arne Slot will be very happy. It was a big week, but every game is; we play so many games against so many quality opponents,’ Slot enthusiastically said. We can only hope that there will be many more weeks like these.
Our goals include finishing in the top four of the league, qualifying for the Champions League, and winning several cups. Just like you, we are aware that this is a lengthy season. Even teams like City, Chelsea, and Arsenal can win as many games in the round of 16 as we did.
The Kop sang Slot’s name at full-time against Villa, and he has won 15 of his 17 matches since replacing Jurgen Klopp.
When Conor Bradley tugged on Pau Torres’ shirt, Villa manager Unai Emery felt his team should have been awarded a penalty, even though the score was 1-0.
His reasoning was that it would have been handed out in Europe.
