Jurgen Klopp has confirmed that Trent Alexander-Arnold was ruled out at half-time with an injury against Burnley.Liverpool fans are fearing the worst after the defender was substituted midway through the Premier League game at Anfield after picking up a pass in the Reds’ opener.
Alexander-Arnold started his second game since recovering from a knee injury that ruled him out for three weeks.The right-back influenced the game, scoring from Diogo Yota’s corner in the 30th minute.
This assist makes him the highest scoring defender in Premier League history.But shortly after that memorable moment, his afternoon at Anfield ended when he was taken off at half-time. Curtis Jones was replaced at right-back and Klopp confirmed after the game that Alexander-Arnold had taken “precautionary measures” on his knee.”He felt a bit in the knee area, where he injured it last time, so we’ll have to wait and see,” Klopp told talkSPORT at Anfield. “It looked good, but it felt a bit disappointing, so we had to fix it.
“Given the situation we were in in terms of availability, we had to put Curtis in at fullback and he did really well. “Probably the best thing about the whole game was that the players accepted the challenge, accepted it, tried to overcome it and achieved a very worthy result.”Among the supporters, one Liverpool fan expressed concern that a recurrence of the injury could lead to an early retirement.
