LIVERPOOL: Liverpool right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold has picked up a knee injury that will keep him out for a few weeks, assistant manager Pepijn Lijnders said on Tuesday.

The 25-year-old England international, who has made 18 Premier League appearances for Liverpool this season, suffered the injury during Sunday`s 2-0 FA Cup third-round win at Arsenal.

`Trent hyperextended his knee. So he has a little tear in the lateral ligament of his knee and he will need time to recover,` Lijnders said. `Hopefully three weeks, with the winter break in-between,` he told reporters.

Liverpool have a gap of 11 days between Wednesday`s League Cup semi-final against Fulham and their next league game at Bournemouth.-Reuters
