Trent Alexander-Arnold gave the Anfield supporters nothing short of a display for 71 minutes on a Sunday afternoon.

The Reds’ stand-in captain in Virgil van Dijk’s absence, who had a rough game at St. James’ Park last weekend and very nearly got sent off in the first half, was at his regal best against Aston Villa.

His distribution terrorized the Villa defense all day in Liverpool’s stunning victory, yet he was only credited with one assist, which is a crime.

Unfortunately, his performance was cut short when he drove up 20 minutes late and had to leave. We don’t know how long Trent will be out due to the knock, but here’s what we do know about his condition.

If Trent Alexander-Arnold is hurt, when will he be able to play again?

Alexander-Arnold was substituted by youngster Jarell Quansah after 71 minutes on Sunday, perhaps because of a hamstring injury.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp said after the game that the England international would be scanned to assess the severity of the injury. I can’t give you an accurate description [of his injuries]. I inquired, and he said that his hamstring was hurt. His first assessment is that it’s “not too serious,” while he acknowledges that “we obviously have to wait for the scans to find out more.”

Despite being re-listed as a midfielder, Alexander-Arnold may not be able to play in England’s forthcoming Euro 2024 qualifier against Ukraine or friendly against Scotland due to an injury. Even if Alexander-Arnold doesn’t think the hamstring injury is severe, it may keep him out of action for weeks.

After the international break, club football resumes with Liverpool’s match against Wolves at noon on September 16, followed by their home opener in the Europa League against LASK on September 20. Whether he is healthy or not, Alexander-Arnold won’t be relied upon heavily by the Reds until the knockout stages of the tournament.
