Trent Alexander-Arnold is the latest Liverpool player looking at time on the sidelines after suffering a hamstring injury against Aston Villa.
Anfield was all smiles when the Reds secured a comfortable 2–0 victory over Aston Villa before the November international break over the weekend. Liverpool continued its dream start under Arne Slot and added three more points to its Premier League title campaign on a weekend when Manchester City, Chelsea and Arsenal all dropped points.
The only blemish on Liverpool's perfect day was Alexander-Arnold's early substitution. The right back pulled up in the early stages of the match and was forced to come off the pitch in the 25th minute. After the game, Slot spoke to the media and issued an update on the defender's fitness.
"It's difficult to say how serious it is, but it's always serious if a player goes out in the first half. Not because I didn't like him, but because he asked for it himself," Slot said. "He didn't ask for it because he was tired, he asked for it because he felt something. That's first of all not a good sign, but it is always difficult so close after the game to tell you exactly what it is. Let's wait and see."
Here's the latest on Alexander-Arnold's injury.
