[Saba Sports News] According to British media reports, Trent Alexander-Arnold has been playing with an injury since the England national team matches earlier this month. It was reported that Arnold suffered a muscle strain in the final moments of the match against Finland two weeks ago. Although the scan results showed it was not serious, he has been playing through the pain. Conor Bradley’s rib injury has forced Arnold to endure his own pain while facing Chelsea. Due to his injury, Arnold has been substituted early in the last two matches. He has played a key role in Liverpool’s impressive start to the season and enjoys working with Arne Slot. Arnold greatly appreciates Slot’s attention to detail, and they regularly have one-on-one discussions. Arnold is eager for constructive feedback, and Slot does not hesitate to point out issues. It is reported that Arnold has also told Slot that he wants to become a defender that no one wants to face, aiming to dispel doubts about his defensive weaknesses. This has led to a different performance from Arnold under Slot compared to his time with Jurgen Klopp, although it seems more like a subtle change.
