Liverpool are sweating on the fitness of Trent Alexander-Arnold ahead of their Carabao Cup semi-final against Tottenham Hotspur.
The Reds vice-captain was forced off in the 2-0 win over AFC Bournemouth. Although Liverpool moved nine points clear at the top of the Premier League table, with Mo Salah firing a double either side of half-time, the triumph was somewhat marred by Alexander-Arnold trudging off the pitch in the 70th minute.
Slot update
However, Slot has admitted that he does not expect Alexander-Arnold to be involved against Ange Postecoglou’s outfit. The Liverpool head coach said in his post-match press conference at the Vitality Stadium: “The situation was that he said to me, ‘You have to take me off’ and he sat on the floor and we took him off.
