Arne Slot affirms a significant injury boost for Liverpool in anticipation of the critical match against Manchester City.
Liverpool and Manchester City will engage in their inaugural Premier League encounter this season on Sunday.
Pep Guardiola’s team has encountered numerous injury issues throughout the 2024/25 campaign, which have affected numerous members of the City squad.
For example, Rodri sustained a season-ending injury during the 2-2 draw with Arsenal at the Etihad Stadium in September.
Arne Slot, who succeeded Jurgen Klopp in the summer, has disclosed that Liverpool has received a substantial injury advantage in anticipation of Sunday’s significant match. Arne Slot provides Liverpool with an injury boost in anticipation of their match against Manchester City.
During his most recent press conference, Slot responded to the inquiry of whether Trent Alexander-Arnold is able to start against City after a recent injury absence. He stated, “Trent is physically capable of commencing.”
An explanation for why Alexander-Arnold may pose an issue for the City Alexander-Arnold was compelled to leave the field due to a hamstring injury during the first half of Liverpool’s 2-0 victory over Aston Villa earlier this month.
Despite his absence from England’s two Nations League matches against Greece and Ireland, as well as
Liverpool’s most recent league match against Southampton, the right-back was an inactive substitute in their 2-0 victory over Real Madrid on Wednesday night. Alexander-Arnold has only contributed one assist this season, despite starting 11 Premier League games.
Nevertheless, the Englishman continues to possess the second-highest number of critical passes (19) among the Liverpool squad. Additionally, the full-back has secured more tackles (24) than any other player at the Merseyside club in the division.
This demonstrates the potential for him to pose a challenge for City in front of both goals and the significant benefit that Liverpool derives from his readiness to resume play.
Alexander-Arnold praised the Etihad Stadium atmosphere from previous encounters between City and Liverpool, despite the fact that Sunday’s game is at Anfield.
The England international will likely experience another electrifying atmosphere when the two sides meet on Sunday, given the significance of the forthcoming match, regardless of whether he starts or not.
