Trent Alexander-Arnold Available for Match Against Real Madrid

Trent Alexander-Arnold has been confirmed fit to start for Liverpool against Manchester City following an injury scare with teammate Conor Bradley. After missing several matches due to a hamstring injury, he was initially not expected to start against Real Madrid but has since returned to full training. Despite being in the squad for the Champions League clash, coach Arne Slot indicated Alexander-Arnold would likely not feature against Madrid, with Bradley initially anticipated to start. The right-back's contract situation remains a point of interest as he is linked with a potential move to Real Madrid, although he is reportedly focused on Liverpool's current season. Other key players like Alisson and Diogo Jota remain sidelined due to injuries, adding to Liverpool's challenges. The return of Alexander-Arnold is seen as a significant boost for Liverpool as they prepare for a crucial match against their title rivals.
