In preparation for their upcoming Europa League campaign and their match against LASK in Austria, Liverpool engaged in training sessions. Notably absent from the training squad was Trent Alexander-Arnold, a 24-year-old defender who had been sidelined due to a hamstring issue, forcing him to miss Liverpool’s recent victory over Wolves and earlier withdraw from the England national team for games against Scotland and Ukraine.
During the training session, both Alexander-Arnold and Thiago were missing. Thiago, the Spanish midfielder, had been absent from recent games, and Liverpool’s manager, Jurgen Klopp, provided minimal information about when he would return, only mentioning that Thiago had been participating in jogging sessions. On a brighter note, Stefan Bajcetic of Liverpool was making progress towards returning to play. He had a 26-minute appearance for Spain’s U-21 team during the international break, gaining crucial playing time and indicating that his return to Liverpool’s lineup was imminent.
Adrian, Liverpool’s goalkeeper, was seen participating in training with the team. However, he wouldn’t be eligible for the Europa League match against LASK, as Jurgen Klopp hadn’t selected him for the group stage roster.
A tweet from LFC Transfer Room on September 20, 2023, shared this information, emphasizing the continued absence of Trent Alexander-Arnold and Thiago Alcantara from first-team training, raising concerns about their availability for the forthcoming match against LASK.
