Liverpool defender Trent Alexander-Arnold is a huge doubt for the League Cup final against Newcastle United this weekend after sustaining an injury in Tuesday's Champions League round of 16 loss to Paris Saint-Germain, manager Arne Slot said.

PSG beat Liverpool 4-1 on penalties at Anfield to reach the quarter-finals after winning the second leg 1-0.

Alexander-Arnold, 26, was replaced by Jarell Quansah in the 73rd minute, with British media reporting he had suffered an ankle injury.

"(Trent) had to come off. That’s never a good sign,” Slot said.

"And from what I heard from people that saw the images or how he got injured, it did not look very good. So I would be surprised if he is available for Sunday."

Centre-back Ibrahima Konate limped off in the second half of extra time but Slot said that was probably due to fatigue.

Alexander-Arnold's injury would also be a blow for England, who host Albania on March 21 and Latvia three days later in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.
