Trent’s Injury Woes Leave Slot Worried About His Fitness

Liverpool’s recent match at Anfield saw an unexpected early exit for their star full-back, Trent Alexander-Arnold. After just 25 minutes, Trent signalled to the bench, requesting a substitution due to an undisclosed issue. With concerns rising over his condition, he will now undergo a thorough assessment by Liverpool’s medical team.

Slot’s Concerned Tone on Trent’s Early Departure

In his post-match press conference, Slot expressed his unease about Trent’s injury. “It’s difficult to say how serious it is, but it’s always serious if a player goes out in the first half,” Slot remarked. “Not because I didn’t like him, but because he asked for it himself.”

A Self-Requested Substitution Adds to the Worry

Slot clarified that Trent’s substitution was not a matter of fatigue. “He didn’t ask for it because he was tired, he asked for it because he felt something.” The decision to leave the field raised red flags, with Slot candidly admitting that “that’s first of all not a good sign.”

Uncertainty Around Trent’s England Availability

As fans wonder if Trent will represent England this week, Slot remains cautious. “I would be surprised if we will see him playing for the England national team this week, but hopefully he can,” he concluded, emphasising the uncertain nature of Trent’s recovery.
