Arne Slot says he will “be surprised” if Trent Alexander-Arnold appears in the Carabau Cup semi-finals in Liverpool against Tottenham, on the air on Sky Sports, after the injured defender against Bournemouth was exposed on Saturday.
Alexander-Arnold was forced to have muscle injury during the second half of Liverpool 2-0 victory at the Vitality Stadium.
Liverpool will host Tottenham on Thursday, looking to cancel a 1-0 deficit in the first leg.
Speaking at his press conference after the match, Slot said: “He asked me (Trent) if he could go and then fell.
“I felt something, I cannot tell you exactly what it is because now only an hour after it happens, but it is never a good sign if the player is asking for replacement.
“I will be surprised if he played on Thursday, but let’s hope to return as soon as possible.”
Moah’s Double LivePool guaranteed its place at the top of the Premier League table, and opened a nine -point gap at the top.
“The game we expected,” added the opening. “They are very intense (Bournemouth), they continue to run and continue to fight every second. I said before the match, we were 3-0 in Anfield at the end of the first half and they continued. We had to play at the top of the capabilities and need luck to win this game.
“They hit the tape or the post twice and they were constantly trying to impose things. They also had other opportunities and I don’t think we were already expelled on the game. It was an open game and even everyone here, because everyone here, because all the teams are struggling here.”
The team was the best scorer in the league, often during the wonderful Liverpool season, the difference, as he scored a penalty in the first half and a wonderful single goal per second to secure the seventeenth team winning in 23 games, but along the way Bournemouth put a real battle.
Things did not go on the host side during the first half in which they reached this position, and he was not allowed to the goal and decreased after the controversial penalty award.
Eraola in Liverpool came early. Alisson was on alert to deviate behind the Justin Chloever’s engine near his head after a weak defensive head than Alexander-Arnold, the closest of either sides to the registration in 20 minutes, before Antoine Siminho left the Liverpool goal with a balance of wood.
It was through a quick transition, the type in which Bournemouth excelled this season, Liverpool won an upgrade.
Cody Jacob seemed to move away from Louis Cook, as the husband chased a long ball in the house box. The Liverpool player stumbled, although there was more than one suggestion that he might have fallen on his foot. Var, Darren’s decision, supported the field on the field, and from the Salah spot, the ball slipped beyond Kepa’s diving for 1-0.
SLOT believes that there is no reason to go to the ground inside the box when providing an opportunity to score clear goals.
“On the Internet, there is always controversy, especially from fans who may not support Liverpool.”
“The only thing I can say is, and I did not see it again, is that one of my players is one clear one to the goalkeeper, and he is falling.
“Either he makes” Shawwalbi “… Is this an English word?
“And if this is not an opportunity, you are always like,” Yes, is this really a punishment? “This is what I assumed that he did, otherwise Var may enter.”
When you press the accident in the first half, the hole added: “I can reach three, four or five examples as we did not get the luck we deserve, or we did not receive the decision we deserve.
“But this is always the difficult thing in football. If there is one in your favor, it is likely that people will tell you, there is always this luck for Liverpool, or for the first number at the present time. So, yes, for me, this has no relationship To him with luck.
“It is one clear one.
“It is a penalty and not like a penalty kick from a small batch of a group of a group and it was not even a chance. So, I will not call this luck unless I see it again and I see that he did not do it.” She did not touch him at all.
Bournemouth coach Anderoni Airola feels that the decision went against his side, indicating the inevitable inconsistency through a full campaign.
“For me, if I take this punishment, it may go in both directions,” as it was competing. “It may be a slight touch, I haven’t seen the play, but with Louis [Cook]It wanders after a slight touch.
“But I just say, Ivanelson against Bernard, exactly the same play. I would like to say that one is more clear. So I accept it, you can call this, perfect.
“You do not call it, you do not call this, perfect. Do not call one and contact the other, then I must complain.”
