“[I’m] completely painless, says Alexander-Arnold to Liverpoolfc.com. “I have done a lot of rehabilitation when we were out in the summer with the physiotherapist and the care staff, which was good for me. I feel fit, I feel healthy and am back in full training now, so that’s good. It is good for me.”

“The decision comes from the boss, the staff and obviously the medical staff, they have to talk and see if it’s worth the risk,” Alexander-Arnold explained.
“If not, there’s a game on Friday too, so whether it’s about a few minutes on Tuesday and playing a little more on Friday, relieve me so, who knows? Anyway, I’m ready to play. ”
