Liverpool right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold has made his return to full training ahead of the Reds’ upcoming Premier League clash with Leicester City this Sunday.
The 26-year-old England international has been sidelined since suffering an ankle injury during Liverpool’s Champions League round-of-16 loss to Paris St-Germain in March.
Manager Arne Slot had previously expressed optimism that Alexander-Arnold would return before the season concludes, although he did not provide a specific timeline for his recovery.
His return is timely but comes amid increasing speculation regarding his future at Anfield.
Sources claim that Alexander-Arnold, whose contract expires at the end of the current campaign, is in advanced discussions with Spanish giants Real Madrid over a potential free transfer to the Santiago Bernabeu.
As the title race intensifies, Liverpool currently sit at the top of the Premier League table, holding a 13-point advantage over second-placed Arsenal with just six matches left to play.
A win against Leicester could see Liverpool secure their historic 20th league title—provided Arsenal also drop points in their earlier fixture against Ipswich Town on the same day.
