Liverpool will be without Trent Alexander-Arnold for the Carabao Cup final but he could return before the end of the season, it was reported yesterday. The right-back jarred his ankle against Paris Saint-Germain and had to be replaced by Jarell Quansah.
With Conor Bradley already missing, that is far from ideal ahead of the trip to Wembley this weekend. Ibrahima Konate came off against PSG too, but it is thought that was only with fatigue. He should be fine to face Newcastle United.
In transfer news, French outlet L’Equipe reports that Virgil van Dijk is considering a contract offer that would see him pocket $22 million per year at Al-Hilal. The Liverpool captain said earlier this week that he is yet to make a decision on his future.
Alexander Isak continues to be linked with the Reds, with Caught Offside saying that the Swede is on Arne Slot’s wishlist, while Matheus Cunha and Joao Pedro are named as alternative targets.
