Slot reveals injured defender might return for Leicester clash this weekend.

Liverpool are just six points away from clinching the Premier League title, and as a potentially historic weekend approaches, Arne Slot has provided an update on the injury front.

Discussing Trent Alexander-Arnold’s status with the media (via liverpoolfc.com), Slot shared: “[He is] not [ready] to start but if things go well today and tomorrow, he might – might – be on the bench. But definitely not to start because he is out for five-and-a-half weeks and this is today probably his first session with the team.

“He joined parts of the session on Wednesday, I think. So he’s not in a condition to start, but hopefully he’ll be able to join the squad. Conor [Bradley] has also been out for quite some time, so playing a full 90 minutes isn’t straightforward for him either.

“So yes, it would be nice to have Trent with us for the weekend.”

Slot seems optimistic that Trent could feature in some capacity, potentially giving us a glimpse of both right-backs competing for the spot once more.

However, just as one returns to fitness, another often picks up a knock—something that’s been frustratingly frequent. The hope now is to have both players available and fit.

A complicating factor in Trent’s return is the ongoing speculation linking him to Real Madrid. Slot remains tight-lipped on any updates regarding a contract extension, leaving the vice-captain’s future uncertain.

While his comeback would be a huge boost on the pitch, the surrounding transfer rumors could overshadow Liverpool’s achievements if not resolved soon.
