'Trent Alexander-Arnold out for months' - Liverpool fans 'gutted' by latest

Liverpool fans fear Trent Alexander-Arnold will be sidelined for “months” after coming off with an injury during the clash with Aston Villa.

Arne Slot’s side extended their lead at the top of the Premier League with a 2-0 win at Anfield thanks to goals from Darwin Nunez and Mohamed Salah.

However, a cloud was cast over their victory when Alexander-Arnold was withdrawn after just 25 minutes after going down off the ball.

The 26-year-old appeared to gesture to his hamstring when discussing the blow with the physios, leading to growing concern about his availability.

Last season, a hamstring injury saw him miss six games for club and country across 25 days, while knee issues ruled him out for another 16 games between January and April.

Following Alexander-Arnold’s withdrawal against Villa, Slot explained: “It’s difficult to say how serious it is, but it’s always serious if a player goes out in the first half.

“Not because I didn’t like him, but because he asked for it himself. He didn’t ask for it because he was tired, he asked for it because he felt something.

“That’s first of all not a good sign, but it is always difficult so close after the game to tell you exactly what it is. Let’s wait and see.”

Taking to social media in response to his latest blow, supporters have suggested he could miss “months”, with many insisting they are “gutted” and even “heartbroken”.
