Arne Slot: Trent Alexander-Arnold 'fully focused' on injury recovery | OneFootball

Arne Slot has stated that defender Trent Alexander-Arnold is "fully focused" on getting back to full fitness, despite reports suggesting he's in talks with Real Madrid.

Alexander-Arnold, who will be a free agent at the end of the season, is in advanced negotiations with Real Madrid over a move to the Bernabeu on a free transfer.

The right-back missed England's World Cup qualifiers against Albania and Latvia after picking up an ankle injury during Liverpool's Champions League last-16 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain in March.

Slot has said that the 26-year-old is solely focused on recovering from his injury: "His situation is that unfortunately he is injured. Otherwise people probably would have spoken about him having one or two brilliant performances for the England team.

"But he is injured so for him he is fully focused for his recovery and for us we are trying to help him to be back as early as he can."
