Liverpool has been dealt a blow ahead of the Carabao Cup final against Chelsea, with right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold ruled out due to an aggravated knee problem.

The injury, which had previously sidelined him for three weeks in January, has resurfaced, leaving Alexander-Arnold facing a spell on the sidelines once again.

The absence of Alexander-Arnold opens the door for Conor Bradley to potentially start in the final at Wembley on 25th February.

However, there is no confirmed timeline for Alexander-Arnold’s return, raising doubts about his availability for the crucial top-of-the-table clash against Manchester City on 10th March.

During Liverpool’s recent 3-1 victory over Burnley, Alexander-Arnold was substituted at halftime after experiencing discomfort.

With Joe Gomez and Bradley unavailable, Curtis Jones was forced to fill in at right-back.

Fortunately, Gomez and goalkeeper Alisson are expected to make their return against Brentford on Saturday, providing some relief for Liverpool.

Meanwhile, Mohamed Salah, who has been recovering from a hamstring injury, has resumed training, indicating a potential return to action in the near future.

While Liverpool will undoubtedly miss Alexander-Arnold’s presence, the team will need to adjust and make the most of the available options.

The Carabao Cup final against Chelsea will be a significant challenge, but Liverpool’s depth and resilience will be put to the test as they aim to secure silverware.
