Liverpool are hopeful that Trent Alexander-Arnold will be fit for Wednesday's Champions League clash with Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena.

The young right-back was substituted as a precaution in the closing stages of Sunday's 4-2 win over Burnley in the Premier League.

Daniel Sturridge was initially going to replace Sadio Mane but Alexander-Arnold came off instead after indicating to the bench that he felt some tightness in a leg muscle. As a result captain Jordan Henderson filled in at right-back late on against the Clarets.

Alexander-Arnold will be monitored closely over the next couple of days but the early indications are positive. His deliveries from wide areas will be crucial as Liverpool chase a precious away goal in Germany.

James Milner, who has deputised for Alexander-Arnold at right-back at times this season, missed Sunday's game due to a minor hamstring problem. However, vice-captain Milner could be back available for the trip to Munich.

Liverpool will fly to Bavaria on Tuesday on a high after cutting Manchester City's lead at the top to a single point. The last 16 tie with Bayern is delicately poised after last month's 0-0 draw in the first leg at Anfield.
