Overview
- Liverpool host Real Madrid at Anfield on Tuesday in the Champions League group stage.
- Real Madrid have named a 22-man squad including Alexander-Arnold; with Dani Carvajal sidelined, Valverde has been used at right-back and reports indicate Alexander-Arnold may not start.
- The 27-year-old has played only 156 minutes this season and has been an unused substitute since a hamstring strain suffered on Sept. 16.
- Alexander-Arnold told Prime Video he will not celebrate if he scores and said his love for Liverpool "won't change," with a frosty reception widely expected.
- Virgil van Dijk said he has had little contact with his former teammate and that Liverpool must make him "very difficult" to play against, as the Reds seek to build on a 2-0 win over Aston Villa and Madrid arrive in excellent form.
