In recent weeks, Liverpool has performed brilliantly without a number of regular starts.
The thrilling match on Sunday against Manchester City was just one more piece of evidence showing this Reds team is much more than the sum of its parts. Liverpool fought to a point that was quite easily three points, even though they were still missing a number of crucial players.
Trent Alexander-Arnold was among many who wished they could have been at Anfield but were unable to do so. The right-back talked tough before the match for City, but he wasn’t able to demonstrate that on the field as he was still healing from a knee injury.
However, The Daily Mail claims that Alexander-Arnold may soon be showcasing his skills once more. According to reports, the 25-year-old hopes to participate in Liverpool’s match against Brighton on March 31st.
It does seem possible that this is still a long shot, to be honest. It is stated that Alexander-Arnold playing in the match at Anfield is a “best case scenario.”
According to reports, Trent will begin rehabilitation “in the next weeks” after suffering ligament damage. It is said that he will know if he is ready for Brighton based on how he handles this.

That’s very exciting news for Liverpool. Actually, their next Premier League match is against Brighton, as the schedule has worked out.
There is only one more really important match for the Reds that Alexander-Arnold might miss, and that is Thursday’s Europa League matchup against Sparta Prague.
It is clearly not ideal when it occurs during an away FA Cup quarterfinal at Old Trafford. However, it will be a huge help if the England international can accelerate his recuperation and be ready for action following the international break.
Over the previous month or two, Liverpool has evidently managed fairly well without their normal right-back. Conor Bradley passed the exam with ease on Sunday, which was the biggest one he has faced thus far.
Bradley’s genius prevents the Reds from being in a situation where Trent needs to be rushed back. With this accident, it has already occurred once, thus every precaution should be made to prevent it from happening again.
However, you need your finest players accessible and prepared to step up in a title race. And among Liverpool’s finest is Alexander-Arnold, in all honesty.
Legend of the Premier League Jermain Defoe recently referred to the Scousers as “world class,” and it’s difficult to disagree. Trent had been having an amazing season before his injury. With their No. 66 back, Liverpool will be a stronger and more formidable team.
Fortunately, it appears that everything is set up to make it happen. For Liverpool’s hopes of winning the title, Alexander-Arnold should be back for the final stretch.
