The Reds moved to within one point of Premier League leaders Man City in midweek but Jurgen Klopp will face an anxious wait over the availability of three of his players ahead of their FA Cup tie this weekend, know the injury update of Trent Alexander Arnold
Liverpool’s season continues to run on all fronts as they closed the gap on Premier League leaders Manchester City to just one point with a 2-0 victory over Arsenal on Wednesday, while they now head to Nottingham Forest for an FA Cup quarter-final match on Sunday.
The Reds got away unhurt from their midweek triumph over Arsenal, despite the fact that Jurgen Klopp was missing two of his first-team players, and there are concerns over four players ahead of the weekend.
Trent Alexander Arnold Injury Update, Return Date And Status
Trent Alexander-Arnold has been ruled out for at least a month after suffering a hamstring injury in Wednesday’s 2-0 loss to Arsenal, despite the defender playing the entire 90 minutes.
Klopp, however, announced in his pre-match news conference on Friday that the youthful right-back has sustained a long-term injury and would be absent for Sunday’s FA Cup encounter against Nottingham Forest.
Klopp revealed: “Trent is out due to a hamstring injury. He isn’t allowed to be a part of England as well. There is no positive news; we’ll see how long it takes.”

Liverpool Injured Players List News
Mohamed Salah
Mohamed Salah, the Egyptian attacker, has been included in the team to play Arsenal on Wednesday, after originally suffering a foot ailment that relegated him to a bench role in the 2-0 triumph.
He did come in as a 65th-minute replacement in that game, but Klopp claims he felt an issue in his foot thereafter, and he might now be a concern for Sunday’s encounter against Nottingham Forest.
“Mo felt his foot a little bit after the game,” Klopp said on Friday, “so we’ll see what we do with it.”
Injury Type- foot ailment
Situation-Not Serious
James Milner
After feeling unwell before of the game, midfield veteran James Milner was left out of Liverpool’s squad for their triumph against Arsenal on Wednesday. It was later confirmed that he had contracted a virus.
It hasn’t been verified as Covid, which means Milner may return to action as soon as he feels better and is healthy enough, however whether that will be this weekend remains to be seen.
Owing to Liverpool’s amazing midfield depth and the fact that he isn’t a regular starter, the 36-year-old isn’t a significant loss, but he remains a vital figure in the team due to his enormous experience and adaptability.
Injury Type- Illness
Situation-Not Serious
Return Date- Upcoming Match
Kostas Tsimikas
Defender After contracting a virus, Kostas Tsimikas was also ruled out of Liverpool’s 2-0 loss to Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium on Wednesday.
Tsimikas, like Milner, hasn’t been verified to have Covid-19, which gives some hope that he’ll be ready this weekend, though he’ll be tested further and a late decision might be made.
Milner and Tsimikas have been ruled out of tonight’s match in north London, according to writer Carl Markham, who tweeted on Tuesday: “Klopp claims Konate is back fit.” Milner and Tsimikas have been ruled out of the game due to sickness.”
