News'I'm excited to get back' – Trent Alexander-Arnold on injury recovery
Trent Alexander-Arnold is counting down the days to being able to help Liverpool again as the vice-captain nears a return to fitness.
Alexander-Arnold has been sidelined with a knee issue since the Reds’ home win over Burnley on February 10.
Speaking at Sunday’s Premier League clash with Brighton & Hove Albion, the No.66 expressed his desire to be involved again soon.
Asked about his recovery, Alexander-Arnold told Sky Sports: “Going well now, finally in the final stages, the last couple of weeks.
“Just excited to get back out there – it’s hard watching it and not being a part of it. It has been the longest one of my career so far. It gives you that hunger to get back out there and perform.”
On a possible timeline for his comeback, he added: “A couple of weeks hopefully if everything keeps going well, I keep progressing and there’s no setbacks, then yeah.
“I’ve got to keep working hard and I’m obviously not going to get straight back into the team, it’s not what I’m expecting.
“But it’s exciting, I want to get back out there, I want to help the lads and I want to be in a title race.”
