Following Liverpool’s 3-0 win over Aston Villa at Anfield, boss Jurgen Klopp revealed that Trent Alexander-Arnold will undergo a scan following a hamstring problem he suffered during the game.
With the captain’s armband against Unai Emery’s Villa, Alexander-Arnold showed a great performance throughout the match.
However, the No. 66 sensation was forced off the field midway through the second half and succumbed to a hamstring problem.
Jarell Quansah stepped in to fill the void left by the injured star.
Alexander-Arnold was released in the 71st minute, shortly after a powerful effort went over the crossbar.

Spectators witnessed Alexander-Arnold exchanging words with Klopp on the touchline. Klopp gave a cautiously optimistic update in the wake of Liverpool’s resounding 3-0 win.
‘I’m interested too. I don’t know exactly,” he said. “I asked him and he said it was his hamstring.
‘Not too serious, he thinks, but of course we have to wait for the scans. Then we know more.
“Trent’s hamstrings aside, it was the perfect afternoon. The atmosphere, the weather. My God! I can’t imagine a better Sunday.’
The 22-year-old was recently called up to Gareth Southgate’s squad for the Euro 2024 qualifier against Ukraine and a friendly with Scotland.
Alexander-Arnold provided an assist on new signing Dominik Szoboszlai’s first Liverpool goal, opening the scoring within just three minutes of play.
An own goal from Matty Cash doubled the Reds’ lead, and Mo Salah made it three after just ten minutes into the second half from a cross from Darwin Nunez.
