Liverpool team news: Trent Alexander-Arnold boost for Boxing Day clash with Newcastle

Trent Alexander-Arnold is expected to be available for Liverpool’s Boxing Day clash with Newcastle United.

Manager Jurgen Klopp revealed on Monday that the youngster has returned to full training, having been sidelined since sustaining a foot injury during this month’s 1-0 win over Napoli.

Nathaniel Clyne and James Milner have stepped in to fill his place, but Alexander-Arnold could now be fit enough to reclaim his spot at right-back for Newcastle’s visit to Anfield.

“Trent is back in training, full training, we will see,” Klopp said.

Naby Keita is also set to make a return to training after being forced off during Friday’s 2-0 win at Wolves with a minor foot issue.

As for Joel Matip (collarbone) and Joe Gomez (ankle), Klopp said: “No news, they are both still out.”

Alongside Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain (knee), the trio remain Liverpool’s only absentees for the busy festive period.
