Trent Alexander-Arnold could reportedly be available to face Tottenham this weekend, with the Liverpool defender missing the last month through injury.
According to the Liverpool Echo, the 24-year-old right-back might be ready to make his full return to the Reds squad having been out for the last few weeks due to a hamstring problem.
The injury kept Alexander-Arnold out of international duty with England this month, though the Liverpool star is now expected to make his long-awaited return this weekend to face Tottenham.
Lauded by Lucas Leiva as a ‘world-class’ player, Alexander-Arnold’s presence in the defence has been sorely missed by Liverpool, with Joe Gomez not bringing the creative edge his defensive teammate can offer.
Which is why Alexander-Arnold returning to Liverpool’s starting XI this week is huge, especially against a Premier League that are flying high like Tottenham.
Indeed, the Reds will need every quality body available if they’re to claim a statement win against the north London side, and Alexander-Arnold’s return to fitness will provide just that.
Alexander-Arnold can guide Liverpool to victory against Tottenham
Alexander-Arnold’s evolved role means that Liverpool are more reliant than ever on the England international, and this Saturday could prove just that.
The 24-year-old’s creative powers have saved Liverpool on numerous occasions in the past, and Alexander-Arnold will want to play a role this weekend against Tottenham.
Three huge points are on the line, and a win for the Reds could put Liverpool firmly in the Premier League title race, a prospect few fans would have predicted at the start of the season.
