Trent Alexander-Arnold has confirmed he is just weeks away from a return for Liverpool.
The 25-year-old has missed Liverpool’s last 10 matches due to a knee injury he suffered in the 3-1 win over Burnley on February 10.
Conor Bradley has deputised in Alexander-Arnold’s absence but the England international believes he is just ‘a couple of weeks’ away from returning for Jurgen Klopp’s side.
‘It’s going well now, finally in the final stages and just excited to get back out there,’ Alexander-Arnold told Sky Sports before Liverpool’s clash with Brighton on Sunday.
‘It’s hard watching and not being apart of it, it’s one of the longest ones of my career so far, it gives you that hunger to get back out there and perform.

‘Got to keep working hard, I’m not going to get back into the team, it’s not what I’m expecting, but it’s exciting. I want to get out there, help the lads and be in a title race.’
