Liverpool injury update: Latest news and return dates for Trent Alexander-Arnold, Ibrahima Konate and Thiago
The England defender’s participation in the upcoming international matches is questionable due to a thigh injury.
Liverpool will hope the two-week break gives him enough time to return, along with possible comebacks from Ibrahima Konate and Thiago Alcantara.
Both players suffered setbacks while recovering from injuries.
Here is your latest update from Liverpool injuries and return flight dates…
Trent Alexander Arnold
Jurgen Klopp had to substitute Alexander-Arnold after 71 minutes of Sunday’s win with an apparent thigh injury.
Scans will determine the 24-year-old’s dismissal, although he was told after the game he viewed his departure as a precautionary measure.
“I asked him, he said it was like that [his] Hamstring injury,” Klopp revealed.
“’Not too serious’ is his opinion, but of course we have to wait for the scans, then we’ll know more.”

Centre-back Konate has withdrawn from the France squad as he continues to be sidelined with a hamstring injury.
Didier Deschamps confirmed plans to test the player on Monday after initially naming him in his 20-man squad, stressing: “Of course I won’t take any risks.”
Konate’s return for Liverpool’s trip to Wolves later this month remains in doubt, with Klopp only saying his defender was “not ready” for Villa last week.
Thiago Alcantara
A setback in Spanish midfielder Thiago’s comeback shouldn’t put too much of a dent in his return plans.
Liverpool boss Klopp admitted he has had to “slow down” the 32-year-old’s start to first-team training but still hopes to have him available for selection after the international break.
“It’s not cool for him, it’s not cool for us, but it is what it is,” Klopp said. “Thiago will of course use the international break to stay up to date. I’m pretty sure that should hopefully be enough for him.”
