Liverpool fans are expressing concern that Trent Alexander-Arnold might have played his last match for Liverpool.
The 26-year-old Liverpool defender had to leave the field in the second half of the Champions League game against Paris Saint-Germain due to an injury.
Alexander-Arnold was playing well before he was injured and had to be substituted with about 20 minutes left in the game.
While Liverpool was losing 1-0, the England player attempted a sliding tackle on PSG’s Vitinha.
Vitinha got the ball away, and Alexander-Arnold slid awkwardly on the field at Anfield.
He seemed to injure his left leg, and the medical staff quickly came to help him.
Alexander-Arnold was able to walk off the pitch but was quickly replaced by Jarell Quansah.
One fan on X (formerly Twitter) questioned if it was the last time they would see Trent Alexander Arnold play for Liverpool, expressing hope that it wasn’t.
Another fan commented that they wouldn’t be surprised if Trent doesn’t play again this season, suggesting it could even be his last game for Liverpool.
A third fan mentioned that Trent played well in the second half and looked upset when leaving the pitch, hoping it wasn’t his last game at Anfield.
Another person described the injury as strange and expressed sympathy for Trent.
Alexander-Arnold has been with Liverpool since he was six years old.
He made his first team debut in 2016 and has become a very popular player among the fans.
However, his contract ends this summer, and there are no clear signs yet that he will sign a new contract.
Real Madrid was interested in signing the defender in January, and Liverpool rejected a £20m offer from the Spanish club.
Alexander-Arnold could join Real Madrid for free in the summer if he does not sign a new contract with Liverpool.
His teammates Mo Salah and Virgil Van Dijk also have not yet committed to staying at Liverpool long-term.
Reports last week indicated that Real Madrid wants to sign Trent before the Club World Cup in June.
This would require Liverpool to agree to a transfer fee to release Alexander-Arnold from his contract early.
Real Madrid is scheduled to play against Al-Hilal from Saudi Arabia in their first Club World Cup group match in Miami on June 18.
