Liverpool will look to make a statement when they face Manchester City in the Premier League on Saturday, following their 5-1 win over Porto in the Champions League. The Reds will be hoping to beat title rivals Manchester City before the international break in order to keep their lead in the table. On that note, here’s a rundown of the most recent Liverpool news and rumors as of September 28, 2021.
Liverpool defender Trent Alexander-Arnold’s participation against Manchester City this weekend is in serious doubt after Jürgen Klopp revealed the player has a muscle injury.
On Matchday 2 of the Champions League, the 22-year-old did not play against FC Porto because James Milner took his place. Alexander-Arnold suffered the injury in training, according to Klopp, who told BT Sport:
“Yeah, unfortunately (it’s an injury).” It happened soon after training. Trent came in a little earlier, but it didn’t appear to be a serious situation. We did more testing, and it turned out to be serious. He didn’t travel with us, so he’ll be out for today. “And it doesn’t appear that the City game will be any better..” It’s a muscular issue. We thought he was just tired, but it turned out to be more, and we now have to deal with it. “Liverpool set to compete with Manchester City and Real Madrid for Nice striker Amine Gouiri
