Trent Alexander-Arnold expects to return by late April

Trent Alexander-Arnold, a key player for Liverpool, hopes to return from an ankle injury by the end of April. He suffered a high ankle sprain during a Champions League match against Paris Saint-Germain last week. The injury forced him to miss the recent Carabao Cup final against Newcastle United and upcoming World Cup qualifiers for England. Medical assessments revealed that Alexander-Arnold has a syndesmosis injury, which affects the ligaments around his ankle. There is no fixed timeline for his recovery, but doctors are optimistic about his healing process. Alexander-Arnold aims to start training again sometime in April. Liverpool is currently leading the Premier League and needs to secure 16 points from their remaining nine matches to win the title. Alexander-Arnold will miss the Merseyside derby on April 2 and other important league games throughout the month. In another update, teammate Harvey Elliott returned to training with the England Under-21s after an injury scare. He was hurt during the Carabao Cup final but appears to have recovered quickly.
