The Press Association is reporting that Liverpool right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold is set to be out for two weeks with a hamstring problem.

The 26-year-old was forced to come off in the first half of Saturday's 2-0 win over Aston Villa, having signalled to the bench he had a problem in the 25th minute.

According to PA news agency, it is understood that scans have shown the injury is rated as a low-grade issue which may only keep him out for about two weeks.

That could give Alexander-Arnold the chance to return against Southampton on 24 November following the international break.

After the trip to St Mary's, the Reds host Real Madrid in the Champions League and then Manchester City in the Premier League on the following Wednesday and Sunday respectively.
