Trent Alexander-Arnold will be out until mid-February with a knee ligament tear.

"Trent hyperextended his knee during the last game," Liverpool assistant manager Pep Lijnders told Liverpool's website. "So he has a little tear in the lateral ligament of his knee and he will need time to recover.

Alexander-Arnold's injury means that Liverpool will be without their first-choice full-back due to left-back Andy Robertson still be sidelined as a result of shoulder surgery last October.
