Liverpool defender Trent Alexander-Arnold has recovered from his injury and is fit to play against Watford this weekend.
That’s according to The Telegraph, who claim that Alexander-Arnold has bounced back from his recent groin problem.
Alexander-Arnold missed Liverpool’s trip to Porto with his groin injury, as well as the 2-2 draw with Manchester City before the international break.
The 23-year-old also subsequently missed England’s international games.
There have been fears that Alexander-Arnold would also miss Liverpool’s trip to Watford on Saturday. Instead, the right back now looks set to start at Vicarage Road.
Liverpool really needed this Alexander-Arnold boost
Jurgen Klopp will have been desperate for good news. Alexander-Arnold being available for Liverpool again is absolutely ideal.
Alisson Becker and Fabinho look set to miss out against Watford. Both players are away with Brazil and may not be back in time to play.
Thiago Alcantara and Curtis Jones are doubts, Harvey Elliott is a long-term injury and Diogo Jota has picked up an injury with Portugal.
Missing so many players against Watford is far form ideal, but £180k-a-week star Alexander-Arnold coming back in for Liverpool is needed.
James Milner struggled with Phil Foden almost a fortnight ago, and he may have had problems with the pace of Emmanuel Dennis or Ismaila Sarr.
Alexander-Arnold gives Liverpool that little bit more athleticism, as well as creativity going forward.
