Yesterday, Liverpool's main right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold sustained an injury during the UEFA Champions League round of 16 match against PSG. Experts from
Physio Scout have assessed the severity of the injury sustained by the Merseyside academy graduate.
Details: According to their analysis, Trent's ankle twisted unnaturally, indicating a risk of a severe sprain (syndesmosis).
If the worst-case scenario is confirmed and Trent requires surgery, he could be sidelined for 8 to 10 weeks.
If surgery can be avoided, recovery will take 3 to 4 weeks.
There is also a possibility that the injury is not serious, and he could be out for just over a week.
In any case, Alexander-Arnold will miss the English League Cup final against Newcastle and will not be available for England's World Cup 2026 qualifying matches.
Reminder: Dailysports has recognized PSG goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma as the person of the day in the Champions League.
