• Right-back sidelined for several weeks with knee problem
• Conor Bradley set to take his place against Chelsea at Wembley

Trent Alexander-Arnold will miss the Carabao Cup final against Chelsea later this month after aggravating a knee injury during Liverpool’s win over Burnley.

The Liverpool vice-captain was forced off after 45 minutes on Saturday having felt pain in the same knee where he suffered a lateral ligament tear in the FA Cup victory against Arsenal on 7 January. No timeframe has been set for the defender’s return but he is expected to be sidelined for several weeks, ruling him out of the Wembley meeting with Mauricio Pochettino’s side on 25 February.
