"Trent trained yesterday in parts and is in full training today. We will see what we do with that. Trent wanted to play for England but he couldn't. The scans showed he could not go anywhere but sometimes injuries are not that serious"
"It depends what he does in team training. Intense with rehab team so physically he should be fine. I'll make the decision. Ready for Man City? I think so."

Trent Alexander-Arnold has been one of Jurgen Klopp's most important players this season. The England international is currently the club's leading assists provider this season. Alexander-Arnold has notched up 17 assists across all competitions. He also leads the charts for assists in the Premier League with 11.
