Alexander-Arnold injured in Aston Villa match

Liverpool right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold was forced off with an injury during the first half of Liverpool's Premier League match against Aston Villa on Saturday.

The England international went down clutching his hamstring after just 30 minutes of the match at Villa Park. He was replaced by Joe Gomez.

The extent of Alexander-Arnold's injury is not yet known, but it is a major blow for Liverpool, who are already without several key players due to injury.

Alexander-Arnold has been one of Liverpool's most consistent performers in recent seasons, and his absence will be a big loss to the team.

The injury also comes at a bad time for Liverpool, who are facing a crucial run of fixtures in the Premier League and Champions League.

Liverpool are next in action on Tuesday when they travel to Arsenal in the Carabao Cup semi-final first leg.

They then face Manchester City in the Premier League on Sunday before hosting Real Madrid in the Champions League round of 16 first leg on February 21.
