Trent Alexander-Arnold could sit out Liverpool's Premier League clash with Arsenal at Anfield on Sunday.

The 18-year-old full-back, who received a maiden call-up to the England Under-21s squad yesterday, was forced off with a dead leg during the second half of the Reds' Champions League play-off victory over Hoffenheim in midweek.

Liverpool are waiting to see how Alexander-Arnold responds to treatment before making a decision on his participation against Arsene Wenger's side.

Three Liverpool youngsters tipped for big things this season

Joe Gomez, who came off the bench against the Bundesliga outfit, is in contention to start at right-back against the Gunners after impressing in last weekend's win over Crystal Palace.

Emre Can was spotted at the city's Spire Hospital on Thursday but Liverpool have played down suggestions that the midfielder is facing a spell on the sidelines.

The Germany international, who scored twice against Hoffenheim, regularly has scans to ensure the Reds keep on top of the calf issue which dogged him for long periods of last season.

Can has started the season in fine form and Jurgen Klopp will be desperate to have him fit and firing on all cylinders against Arsenal.
