Two of Liverpool’s regular starting 11, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Joel Matip, will be out of action for at least two weeks after sustaining injuries in their 3-2 loss against Arsenal on Sunday. Alexander-Arnold has an ankle injury whilst Matip came off with a calf issue. It comes after confirmation that Luis Diaz will not play for Liverpool until after the World Cup in Qatar due to a knee injury.
'We are definitely not in the title race,' admits Klopp after Arsenal defeat
Trent Alexander-Arnold and Joel Matip are out for two weeks in another blow for Liverpool, following confirmation of Luis Diaz’s knee injury which has ruled him out for two months.
Alexander-Arnold has an ankle injury which appeared to be causing him problems in Liverpool’s 3-2 defeat to Arsenal on Sunday, whilst Matip came off with a calf issue.
Diaz will not feature for the Reds until after the World Cup, which takes place from November 20 to December 18, after leaving the Emirates Stadium on crutches.
It comes as Liverpool travel to Rangers for the Champions League, before taking on Manchester City at Anfield on Sunday.
The Reds are 14 points adrift of league leaders Arsenal, having expected to at least challenge for the title after just falling short last season.
