“He felt something,” Slot said. “I can’t tell you exactly what but it’s never a good sign when a player asks to be subbed. I would be surprised if he plays on Thursday.”
Conor Bradley took Alexander-Arnold’s slot and is the obvious replacement in any absence.
Liverpool host Spurs on Thursday, entering the second leg down 1-0. They’ll then go to Pkymouth Argyle in the FA Cup fourth round on Sunday, February 10, before a February 12 trip to Everton in Premier League play.
Liverpool have won four-of-five matches when Alexander-Arnold does not play this season, and went 15W-3D-4L without him last season.
