Liverpool star Trent Alexander-Arnold set to MISS Carabao Cup final against Newcastle in huge injury blow - but is defender's season over?

The 26-year-old suffered an ankle injury in Liverpool's Champions League last-16 loss to Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday and now the Daily Mailstates he will miss Sunday's cup final with Newcastle.

The report adds, however, that no serious damage has been done and it is hoped Alexander-Arnold can play again this season. The right-back is in the last few months of his Liverpool contract so some fans feared he had played his last game for the club. But it seems the England international may return before the campaign finishes.

The report adds that Jarell Quansah will fill in at right-back if Alexander-Arnold is not fit to face the Magpies, with usual back-up Conor Bradley also out injured.

Liverpool will hope to retain their Carabao Cup crown when they take on Newcastle on Sunday afternoon at Wembley. An update on Alexander-Arnold's condition is likely to come later this week.
