Liverpool defender Trent Alexander-Arnold is facing an extended spell on the sidelines with an ankle injury, ruling him out of Sunday's Carabao Cup final against Newcastle, live on Sky Sports.

Arne Slot says Alexander-Arnold will be back before the end of the season after sustaining an injury in the second half of Liverpool's Champions League exit to PSG on Tuesday, but his absence leaves Slot without a recognised right-back.

Conor Bradley and Joe Gomez are still recovering from their own respective injuries, but there is hope Ibrahima Konate can shake off the effects of a knock that also forced him off five days ago.
