‘Liverpool may concede less without Alexander-Arnold’ – Barnes unfazed by injury to England right-back

Liverpool may end up conceding fewer goals with Trent Alexander-Arnold ruled out, claims John Barnes, with the Reds legend not concerned to see the buccaneering right-back added to the ever-growing injury list.

Jurgen Klopp has seen what started out as an unfortunate run of bad luck on the fitness front become a selection nightmare at Anfield. Virgil van Dijk, Joe Gomez and Alexander-Arnold are all now on the treatment table, with it yet to be determined when any of that trio will return to action.

The reigning Premier League champions are having to get creative as a result, but Barnes believes they have enough cover at their disposal to counter the absence of the England international full-back.
