Liverpool fans have something to worry about as their star player Trent Alexander-Arnold walked straight down the tunnel after his substitution.
After what was a bright afternoon at Anfield, the Reds’ supporters would be hopeful that their victory wouldn’t be ruined by an injury news.
However, there is an international break coming up, fortunately. This should offer the right back ample time to recover depending on the severity of the injury concern.
As per Liverpool’s official Twitter account, the Englishman is set to undergo a scan to determine the extent of the injury he faced.
It could be a concern if the 24-year-old is set to remain on the sidelines for a long period.
Liverpool receives injury scare in name of Trent Alexander-Arnold
After being subbed off as a precautionary measure, the England international headed straight down the tunnel. This has been a matter of concern amongst Liverpool supporters.
Other than that, the Reds cruised to victory comfortably over Aston Villa with a 3-0 score-line. Dominik Szoboszlai and Mo Salah were on the score sheet while Matty Cash scored an own goal.
Moreover, there are very limited options available to cover for Trent in the right-back spot. Also, there are ongoing concerns around Van Dijk and Konate and Klopp could not afford further disruption to his backline.
While speaking in his post-match press conference, Klopp revealed that Trent was optimistic the problem wasn’t a serious one.
“I don’t know exactly. I asked him, he said it’s [his] hamstring.
‘Not too serious’ is his opinion, but we obviously have to wait for the scans and then we will know more.”
Now the player would have time to recover as the Reds head into the international break. However, they would face Wolves on their return and would be looking to build on their momentum.
The Reds would look to extend their unbeaten start to the new campaign and come away with another three points on the 18th.
