Alexander-Arnold back in training Right-back out with hamstring issue Linked with Wednesday's opponents Follow GOAL on WhatsApp! 🟢📱WHAT HAPPENED?

The 26-year-old missed Liverpool's 3-2 win over Southampton on Sunday with a hamstring issue sustained against Aston Villa on November 9. The international break appears to have afforded the right-back the time he needed to recover, though, as he trained with his team-mates on Tuesday.

While Arne Slot has confirmed that Alexander-Arnold won't start in Wednesday's Champions League showdown with Real Madrid, his return is a welcome boost with Manchester City visiting Anfield on Sunday.

WHAT SLOT SAID

"Trent is in the squad but he won't be available to start," Slot told reporters. "Maybe he will make a few minutes, but in an ideal world he won't."

DID YOU KNOW?

Federico Chiesa was also involved in the training session as he steps up his return to full fitness. The Italian, whose chequered injury record was well-known to Liverpool when they signed him from Juventus in the summer, has endured a difficult start to his Liverpool career, playing just 18 minutes in the Premier League.
