Is Trent Alexander-Arnold fit to play against Wolves?

Having missed the international break with England due to injury, Liverpool fans have been waiting with bated breath for the past two weeks to discover whether Trent Alexander-Arnold will be fit upon the Premier League's return.

The right-back put in an exquisite performance against Aston Villa prior to the international break, providing an assist in Liverpool's 3-0 win and showcasing his delightful passing range. However, Alexander-Arnold was substituted with 20 minutes remaining after pulling up with a hmastring injury.

Alexander-Arnold told manager Jurgen Klopp it was not too serious after the final whistle, but there were still no guarantees in place that the defender would be fit for the Reds' trip to Wolverhampton Wanderers this Saturday lunchtime.

So, will Alexander-Arnold be fit to play against Wolves?

Speaking in his press conference prior to Liverpool's trip to Wolves, Klopp revealed Alexander-Arnold would not be travelling with the squad for the match.

The German said: “[There is] no concern. He is not available, we knew that before. He didn't train with the team once yet and will take a little bit [of time].

«It is not the worst hamstring injury you can have but it's a hamstring injury and they barely heal in two weeks — and this one didn't, either.»

It will serve as disappointing news to Liverpool supporters as Alexander-Arnold's absence will further disrupt the Reds' backline. Ibrahima Konate is a doubt for the match despite returning to training, while Virgil van Dijk is suspended following his outburst during the Newcastle United clash.

If both centre-backs were to miss the Wolves match it would cause Klopp a few selection headaches. An injury to Alexander-Arnold's young understudy Conor Bradley means Joe Gomez
