Liverpool given a couple of major fitness boosts ahead of Sunday’s trip to Leicester City as Trent Alexander-Arnold and Darwin Nunez take part in training
Trent Alexander-Arnold has handed Liverpool a major fitness boost after training with his team-mates on Wednesday. And Darwin Nunez is also expected to come back into contention after he was well enough to play a part in the session.
Alexander-Arnold has been absent for over a month after hurting his ankle in the second half of the penalty-shootout defeat to Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League, missing the last four games in total that included the Carabao Cup final defeat to Newcastle and the Merseyside derby win over Everton.
The right-back had targeted a comeback before the month is out and he has now taken a significant step forward in that aim after taking part in Wednesday’s session at the AXA Training Centre.
Liverpool has received a significant boost ahead of their match against Leicester City in the Premier League, as star player Alexander Arnold has returned to training after being sidelined for over a month.
Arnold has been absent from the pitch since injuring his ankle during the match against Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League, which ended in Liverpool’s defeat on penalties. His absence included four matches, including the loss in the League Cup final against Newcastle United and the team’s victory in the Merseyside derby against Everton.
The English player had set a goal to return before the end of this month, and he has taken a significant step towards that after participating in team training on Wednesday at the AXA training center. Although Arnold is still in the final stages of his rehabilitation process, it has not been determined yet whether he will be fit to face Leicester City on Sunday.
If Arnold misses the Leicester City match, he could be ready to participate in Liverpool’s game against Tottenham on April 27, a crucial match that may contribute to determining the Premier League champion.
