Ever since his knee ligament injury against Burnley in February, Trent Alexander-Arnold of Liverpool has been eagerly awaiting his return to the field. The right-back, who has been sidelined since then, is determined to make a comeback before Liverpool's crucial match against Manchester United on 7 April.
This is not the first time Alexander-Arnold has suffered from this injury. In fact, he missed three games in January due to the same issue and has only been able to play a full 90 minutes twice this year. As he watched his team lose in the FA Cup last Sunday, Alexander-Arnold's determination to return to the pitch only grew stronger.
Despite not being able to join the England squad due to his injury, Alexander-Arnold has been working hard on his recovery at Melwood. His coach Jurgen Klopp is optimistic that he will be fit to play against Manchester United, but according to the Daily Telegraph, Alexander-Arnold is aiming to make a comeback even earlier, potentially in the game against Sheffield United on 4 April.
However, before that, Liverpool will face Brighton on 31 March after the international break. Klopp has been facing a string of injuries lately, with players like Joel Matip and Thiago Alcantara being long-term absentees. But there is some good news on the horizon, as Diogo Jota and Curtis Jones may also return after the break. Unfortunately, the return date for goalkeeper Alisson Becker is still unknown.
On a positive note, Ibrahima Konate, who has been dealing with a muscle injury, has been training with the France squad this week. Luis Diaz and Cody Gakpo also picked up knocks in the match against Manchester United, but they have been training with their respective national teams. However, Darwin Nunez, who suffered a hamstring injury in the same game, had to withdraw from the Uruguay squad to focus on his recovery in Liverpool.
As the players work on their recoveries, Liverpool fans eagerly await their return, hoping to see their team back at full strength. And with Manchester United looming on the horizon, Alexander-Arnold's determination to return before the crucial match is a promising sign for the Reds.
