Trent Alexander-Arnold, Liverpool's defender, will be unavailable for the Carabao Cup final against Newcastle United due to an injury sustained during the Champions League defeat to Paris Saint-Germain. Coach Arne Slot confirmed that Alexander-Arnold is still under assessment, but there is hope he could return before the season concludes. Additionally, centre-back Ibrahima Konate will also be evaluated following his substitution in the same match. Slot emphasized the significance of competing in finals, highlighting the competitiveness of cup competitions in England.
"Trent is not available; he will not be there at the final. He's still to be assessed for how long it's going to take but we do expect him back before the end of the season."
"We're really looking forward to playing in a final again, because you cannot take a final for granted, especially not in this country with so many good teams involved in every cup competition."
