Former Manchester City defender Nedum Onuoha believes that Rodri’s injury will significantly benefit Arsenal and Liverpool in their pursuit of the Premier League title.
Liverpool’s manager, Arne Slot, has expressed his confidence in Trent Alexander-Arnold’s defensive abilities, stating that the young player simply needs to improve his focus. Alexander-Arnold recently welcomed Slot’s constructive criticism, acknowledging that he aspires to become a dominant force in European defense with the manager’s guidance.
When questioned about Alexander-Arnold’s comments, Slot praised the player’s openness, recalling the emotional impact of Jürgen Klopp’s departure on the team. He emphasized that Alexander-Arnold has consistently demonstrated his defensive prowess throughout his career, winning both the Champions League and league title. According to Slot, the key to Alexander-Arnold’s success lies in maintaining a high level of concentration.
Liverpool boasts one of the Premier League’s top defensive records this season, having conceded only a single goal in their 1-0 loss to Nottingham Forest earlier this month. Meanwhile, injured goalkeeper Alisson Becker is aiming to return to action this weekend, although he will not be available for the upcoming Carabao Cup clash with West Ham. Caoimhín Kelleher, who replaced Alisson in the 3-0 win over Bournemouth, is set to retain his position against West Ham.
