‘I hope I’m wrong’: Mark Lawrenson thinks Klopp has shared some really bad news about Liverpool player
Mark Lawrenson believes Liverpool star Trent Alexander-Arnold’s injury is a lot more serious than what has been disclosed by Jurgen Klopp.
The 23-year-old Englishman has been in tremendous form this season. He has scored twice and has assisted a further 17 times, which is just incredible considering that he’s a defender.
Alexander-Arnold started for Liverpool at right-back against Arsenal last week. He was up against Gabriel Martinelli and it’s safe to say, it wasn’t an easy night for the Reds star.
It was revealed a day after the game that Alexander-Arnold had picked up a hamstring injury and that he’ll be out for a few weeks. Lawrenson, however, believes he will not return for over a month.
Mark Lawrenson: Trent Alexander-Arnold’s injury must be serious
When Klopp was asked about the timeframe of Alexander-Arnold’s return, the German he’ll be out of action for ‘weeks’.
Speaking in a video on , Lawrenson said: “The interesting thing about Trent’s injury is Jurgen’s saying he’ll be out for ‘weeks’. In Klopp language, that sounds to me like it might be at least a month or so.
“Normally, if the medical people are saying two weeks, (Klopp would say) ‘yea we should have him back in two weeks,’ but he’s just saying ‘weeks’, which normally means more than weeks, as in months.
“I hope I’m wrong.”
TBR View:
An exact return date for Alexander-Arnold hasn’t been revealed by Liverpool just yet but Klopp saying ‘weeks’ will not fill fans with a lot of optimism.
It is unclear how severe his injury is, but back in June last year, he was out with the same problem. Back then, the hamstring injury , which is a little over five weeks.
Going by that, Alexander-Arnold should be out until the third week of April at the very least, but Liverpool fans will be hoping it’s not that serious and he’ll be back soon after football returns following the international break.
