BREAKING NEWS: Heartbreaking news has been confirmed for Liverpool before the Tottenham game.

Liverpool Dealt Injury Blow as Trent Alexander-Arnold Ruled Out of Carabao Cup Semi-Final Against Tottenham

Liverpool manager Arne Slot has confirmed that Trent Alexander-Arnold will be unavailable for this week’s crucial Carabao Cup semi-final second leg against Tottenham due to injury.

The England international has been a key figure for Liverpool this season, just as he has been in previous years, and his absence will be a significant setback as the Reds attempt to overturn a 1-0 deficit from the first leg. Overcoming Spurs without one of their most influential players will undoubtedly be a tough challenge.

Slot revealed that Alexander-Arnold experienced discomfort following Liverpool’s victory over Bournemouth, and as a result, he will miss Thursday’s showdown at Anfield. Ian Doyle provided further confirmation of the news on social media.

Who Steps In for Alexander-Arnold?

With Alexander-Arnold sidelined, Conor Bradley is expected to take his place at right-back. The young defender has already proven he can perform well in that role, but Liverpool will be hoping that their vice-captain’s injury does not become a long-term issue.

While the Reds are still viewed as favourites to progress to the final, Tottenham will take confidence from Alexander-Arnold’s absence. Despite their inconsistent season, Ange Postecoglou’s side has shown they can rise to the occasion in big matches, and they may look to exploit Liverpool’s weakened right flank.

A Future Without Alexander-Arnold?

Beyond this game, Liverpool might have to start preparing for life without Alexander-Arnold altogether. The 26-year-old is nearing the end of his contract, and with no significant updates on a new deal, speculation about his future continues to grow. If an agreement isn’t reached soon, he could leave as a free agent this summer.

For now, Liverpool’s focus remains on the Carabao Cup semi-final, but the long-term uncertainty surrounding one of their most important players adds another layer of concern for the club and its supporters.
