Liverpool manager, Jurgen Klopp has said that
defender, Trent Alexander-Arnold might play
against Crystal Palace on Saturday despite
picking up an injury.
It was feared that the 20-year-old would be
sidelined for up to a month, having needed to
strap up his ankle and take painkillers prior to
playing against Brighton last time.
However, Klopp has revealed that both Alexander-
Arnold and fellow injury concern Georginio
Wijnaldum will face late fitness tests.
“Gini and Trent, we will decide day by day. It’s of
course not cool,†Metro UK quoted Klopp as
saying at his pre-match press conference.
“The exceptional part of that story is that they
both played 90 minutes [at Brighton]. The whole
world saw what happened to Trent, what a boy,
unbelievable.
“We played the game and afterwards, we got the
information that he had [an injury].
“Nothing happened during the game, it was all
stable and good.
“It was just what happened before the game;
adrenaline is obviously an interesting thing, it
gives you the opportunity to do a bit more than
you would expect. We will see.
“For both, it will be really, really close for
tomorrow. I don’t want to close any doors before
anybody tells me I have to.â€
