Liverpool’s Alexander-Arnold in Contention for Leicester Trip
Liverpool defender Trent Alexander-Arnold is back in training and available for Sunday’s Premier League game at Leicester City after missing their last four games in all competitions through injury, manager Arne Slot said on Friday.
With a 13-point lead at the top, Liverpool could win a record-equaling 20th English title on Sunday if Arsenal lose to Ipswich Town and they win at 19th-placed Leicester.
Alexander-Arnold, 26, hobbled off during last month’s Champions League loss to Paris St Germain with an ankle injury.
“Trent trained with us yesterday and every time he plays with us and trains with us he shows his commitment,” Slot told reporters, saying he might be on the bench.
“He has worked so hard to be back, and the moment he is on the pitch he shows me what a great football player he is and how much he is involved in us trying to achieve our goals this season.”
Following contract extensions for Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah, fans are now focused on the future of local boy Alexander-Arnold, with speculation he may go to Real Madrid.
