Alexander-Arnold missed Liverpool’s 4-0 win over Tottenham in the Carabao Cup semi-final on Thursday after asking to come off injured against Bournemouth last weekend.

Slot has confirmed the England international is set to miss Sunday’s trip down to Home Park, while he remains a doubt for next week’s Merseyside derby clash with Everton.

“No, I don’t think so yet. That’s going to be too early for him,” said Slot on Friday.

“Difficult to say [about the derby]. Like I said before, it’s not going to take months and not even weeks but that’s only three days after the Plymouth Argyle game, so let’s wait and see if he is available.

“We also have to look at the long term, of course we don’t want to take any risks with so many games afterwards coming up. But if he’s fit then of course we will use him.”

The Reds boss will likely rotate for the meeting with the Championship side, although midfielder Tyler Morton will not feature after suffering a shoulder injury.

Liverpool predicted XI: Kelleher; Bradley, Quansah, Endo, Tsimikas; McConnell, Mac Allister; Elliott, Chiesa, Diaz; Nunez

Injured: Alexander-Arnold, Morton

Time and date: 3pm GMT on Sunday 9 February, 2025
