Alexander-Arnold Returns Amid Liverpool Title Push

Liverpool right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold has returned to training after recovering from an ankle injury sustained during last month's Champions League loss to Paris Saint-Germain, though he may only make the bench for Sunday's crucial match against Leicester City. Uncertainty over Alexander-Arnold's future continues, with reports of advanced talks for a free transfer to Real Madrid when his contract expires this summer, making him the only key Liverpool player yet to renew after Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk signed new deals. Manager Arne Slot has reiterated that Alexander-Arnold will be selected when fit, highlighting his professionalism despite ongoing transfer speculation. Liverpool could clinch the Premier League title this weekend if they defeat Leicester and Arsenal loses to Ipswich. Darwin Nunez has also returned to training after illness, while Joe Gomez remains sidelined. The upcoming fixture is seen as pivotal in the title race.
