Liverpool are breathing a sigh of relief with Trent Alexander-Arnold back in training. The 26-year-old right-back suffered an ankle injury in the UEFA Champions League round-of-16 match on March 11 and has missed four games since, including the League Cup final loss to Newcastle.
Arne Slot, Liverpool’s manager, had hinted at Alexander-Arnold’s return before the season’s end, but a specific timeline was unclear. This week, Alexander-Arnold rejoined the team, a timely boost as they push for the Premier League title. Liverpool currently top the table, 13 points ahead of Arsenal with six games to go.
Uncertainty Surrounding Alexander-Arnold’s Future
Alexander-Arnold’s contract expires this season, sparking transfer rumors. The BBC reports he’s in advanced talks with Real Madrid about a potential free transfer to the Spanish giants. However, before making any decisions, Alexander-Arnold will focus on helping Liverpool secure the Premier League title.
