Liverpool's Premier League title bid has suffered a new injury blow with Trent Alexander-Arnold set to be sidelined until mid-February with a knee ligament tear.

The 25-year-old has undergone a scan to assess the full extent of the damage sustained while playing in Sunday's FA Cup third round win against Arsenal at the Emirates.

But with manager Jurgen Klopp already without several first-team players due to injury, and Mohamed Salah and Wataru Endo away for up to six weeks at the Africa Cup of Nations and Asian Cup respectively, Alexander-Arnold's setback will further deplete Liverpool's squad as they attempt to maintain their lead at the top of the Premier League and reach the Carabao Cup final.
