Liverpool will be without defender Trent Alexander-Arnold for about three weeks. The 25-year-old English representative was ruled out of the game by a torn ligament in his knee. It was reported by the AP agency. Other defenders Andy Robertson, Kostas Tsimikas and Joel Matip are also sidelined. Not even Premier League top scorer Muhammad Salah, who is preparing for the African Championship with the Egyptian national team, can play. Conversely, good news for Liverpool is the return of stopper Virgil van Dijk. The Dutch defender missed Sunday’s FA Cup third-round tie with Arsenal due to illness, but is now fit to start again.
