Liverpool manager Arne Slot expressed skepticism about Trent Alexander-Arnold's fitness for the Carabao Cup final against Newcastle United, citing an injury sustained during a match against Paris Saint-Germain. Despite limited contact during the game, Alexander-Arnold limped off, which Slot considered a bad sign for his availability. Meanwhile, Ibrahima Konate seemed to be suffering from fatigue rather than injury. With other defensive options also sidelined, Slot is left with limited choices for the upcoming match at Wembley.
"With Trent, he had to come off. That's never a good sign... from what I heard, that didn't look very good. So I would be surprised if he is available for Sunday."
"For me, Ibou [Konate] was more that he was tired than it was an injury... I have to ask [medical department] but I'm more positive about his condition."
