In the match between Liverpool and PSG in the early morning of March 12, Trent Alexander-Arnold was injured in the second half after an attempt to block Vitinha's pass. The defender struggled after having problems with his ankle.
He appeared to be in pain, pulling a shirt over his head to cover his face while being cared for by Liverpool's medical team. Alexander-Arnold was able to get up, but trained and took more than 4 minutes to leave the field. His replacement was Jarell Quansah.
Speaking after the match, coach Arne Slot said: "I would be surprised if Alexander-Arnold recovered for the match on Sunday".
The 26-year-old has always been in the Liverpool squad this season, missing just five games in all competitions, three of which were hamstring injuries. His absence will be a big blow for The Kop's defense.
In this match, defender Ibrahima Konate was also injured and left the field in extra time. Fortunately, he was not injured, but only exhausted.
Fans are worried about Alexander-Arnold's situation, especially at the time of his contract expiration, but there is still no sign that he will sign for the team again. In case of serious injury, this could be his last match for Liverpool.
The England defender is free to negotiate and could leave in the summer if he does not extend his contract. Other teammates at Anfield, Mohamed Salah and Virgil Van Dijk, have not yet committed to a future with Liverpool.
After 120 difficult minutes against PSG, Slot's team will enter the English League Cup final against Newcastle, taking place at 11:30 p.m. on March 16.
