Liverpool have been dealt a major injury blow ahead of their Carabao Cup final against Newcastle United after Trent Alexander Arnold was forced off against Paris Saint-Germain. Arne Slot’s side crashed out of the Champions League on Tuesday night after a penalty shootout defeat to the French champions who march onto the quarter-finals where they will take on Aston Villa or Club Brugge.

Liverpool’s vice-captain, Trent Alexander-Arnold, suffered an injury setback in Tuesday’s UEFA Champions League round-of-16 clash against Paris Saint-Germain. However, fresh reports suggest the damage may not be as severe as initially feared.
