Trent Alexander-Arnold tests positive for Covid and misses Liverpool’s FA Cup clash against Shrewsbury

Trent Alexander-Arnold will miss Liverpool’s FA Cup tie against Shrewsbury after testing positive for Covid

And Liverpool confirmed Alexander-Arnold had received a positive test result in the wake of last weekend’s 2-2 draw at Chelsea.

A statement on Twitter read: “Trent is missing after registering a suspected positive COVID test shortly after Chelsea.

“He is expected to return to training in the coming days.”

But one man who will be present at the game is Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp.

He is back in the dugout after a period of self-isolation after testing positive for Covid.

Liverpool were forced to shut down their training base last week following an outbreak amongst players and staff.

And the Reds’ Carabao Cup semi-final first leg tie against Arsenal had to be postponed as a result.
