Trent Alexander-Arnold’s actions on the touchline during his injury assessment spell trouble for Liverpool.

Trent Alexander-Arnold appeared to suffer a serious injury in the second half of Liverpool’s Champions League clash with PSG.

The England international was forced off and replaced by Jarell Quansah while the Reds were trailing by a goal but still level on aggregate after their late winner in Paris. Despite pushing for an equalizer, Liverpool couldn’t respond to Ousmane Dembélé’s opener, with the match heading into extra time.

Alexander-Arnold looked to be in significant pain after rolling his ankle at Anfield, which is a major concern for Arne Slot ahead of Liverpool’s Carabao Cup final against Newcastle on Sunday. The injury adds to the Reds’ problems, with fatigue becoming a factor and Conor Bradley already sidelined, leaving them short on right-back options.

The positive takeaway is that the vice-captain managed to walk around the pitch, suggesting the injury might not be season-ending. However, with his contract expiring this summer and speculation linking him to Real Madrid, there’s a possibility this could be his last game for Liverpool.

Statistically, Alexander-Arnold had a mixed performance, with:

→ 3 interceptions
→ Dribbled past twice
→ 1 error leading to a shot
→ 4/9 ground duels won
→ 0/2 aerial duels won
→ Lost possession 14 times
→ 4/7 long balls completed
→ 2/5 dribbles completed
→ 1 shot blocked
→ 1 shot off target

Despite this, he effectively neutralized PSG’s Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, who was largely ineffective on the night.

Now, Liverpool will be hoping for Mo Salah to step up and make a difference in extra time.
