Liverpool team news: Trent Alexander-Arnold ruled out of Manchester United clash, Nathaniel Clyne could return
Liverpools defensive injury crisis has deepened with Trent Alexander-Arnold set to miss Sundays clash against Manchester United with an ankle problem.The 20-year-old is set for a spell on the sidelines after picking up a knock in Tuesdays 1-0 Champions League win over Napoli which forced him off the field.3

However, Jurgen Klopp has at least been handed the boost that Nathaniel Clyne could return from injury to take Alexander-Arnolds place against United.Rumours this week had claimed Alexander-Arnold would miss Sundays game at Anfield after he was spotted wearing a protective boot following the Napoli win.Manager Klopp said during his pre-match press conference on Friday that Liverpool are taking the 20-year-old ankle problem day by day.The club said he would be assessed ahead of the United clash, but it widely accepted he will miss out and could still be absent for Fridays visit to Wolves.3

Alexander-Arnold will be a huge miss for Liverpool

It represents another big blow for the Reds, with central defenders Joe Gomez (fractured leg) and Joel Matip (broken collarbone)both out until late January.Asked about his defensive crisis and Alexander-Arnolds injury, Klopp told the press: Its our situation. Im not sure, a crisis is I think if you feel it is a crisis. Its our situation.With Trent its not as serious as it is with the other two boys, but of course it is absolutely not top-class news, thats clear.

Liverpool's injury list

• Trent Alexander-Arnold (ankle)
• Joel Matip (broken collerbone)
• Joe Gomez (fractured leg)
• Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain (knee ligament damage)

Trent, we have to see. For him, it is day by day how we judge it.Its not cool but as long as we still have enough players, it is our job to always find a solution for it and we will have a solution for the weekend, but of course it is not perfect.That solution appears to be clear, with the boss also revealing Clyne is ready to make his return to the team.Persistent injury troubles, plus the emergence of homegrown ace Alexander-Arnold, have restricted 27-year-old Clyne to just six Reds appearances over the past two seasons.3

Clyne’s only appearance this season was against Chelsea in the EFL Cup

He could return at the perfect time for Klopp this weekend, although the boss said he will not force him into action having only just returned to fitness.The German boss said: Clyney was unfortunately injured in the last two or three week. It was nothing serious but serious enough that he couldnt be a part of training. Luckily, for four days he is in full training again so thats good.Is he ready for 90 minutes? I dont know. Is he ready? Yes. Despite his lack of game time over the past two years, the boss is confident Clyne who is one game away from his 100th appearance for Liverpool is ready if called upon.He added: Clyney is a very experienced player. Is it perfect? No. Is he experienced enough to do it? Yes, 100 per cent.We have other options as well, so we will not push Clyney through now after not the longest spell of training.
