Trent Alexander-Arnold is a doubt for Liverpool’s Carabao Cup semi-final second leg against Tottenham on Thursday after suffering a thigh injury during the 2-0 win at Bournemouth.
The right-back felt discomfort in the second half and was substituted in the 70th minute to avoid aggravating the problem.
Although scans revealed a minor issue, Alexander-Arnold is expected to be sidelined for a few days rather than weeks.
With Liverpool competing for four trophies, manager Arne Slot is likely to err on the side of caution.
Conor Bradley can step in for Alexander-Arnold, and Joe Gomez is nearing a return after being out since December due to a hamstring injury.
As a result, Alexander-Arnold is expected to miss the second leg against Spurs, who lead 1-0 from the first leg, and Sunday’s FA Cup match at Plymouth.
However, he could be fit for the rearranged Merseyside derby at Everton next Wednesday.
