Trent Alexander-Arnold Ruled Out of Liverpool's League Cup Semifinal Second Leg

The defender's thigh injury will sideline him against Tottenham, with Conor Bradley expected to step in.

Liverpool manager Arne Slot confirmed that Trent Alexander-Arnold will miss Thursday's League Cup semifinal second leg against Tottenham due to a thigh injury sustained during Saturday's Premier League match against Bournemouth.
The 26-year-old right back has been a key player this season, featuring in 31 matches across all competitions with two goals and seven assists.
Alexander-Arnold has begun rehabilitation, but his availability for Sunday's FA Cup fourth-round match remains uncertain.
Conor Bradley, a 21-year-old academy product, is expected to replace Alexander-Arnold, having previously played against Tottenham in the first leg and in other key matches this season.
Liverpool must overcome a 1-0 deficit from the first leg at Anfield, while Tottenham also faces defensive challenges with multiple key players sidelined due to injuries.
