Trent Alexander-Arnold, Thiago Alcantara – Liverpool injury news and return dates ahead of Leicester

Latest Liverpool injury news as Jurgen Klopp’s side prepare to take on Leicester City in the Carabao Cup
Liverpool will be looking to continue their encouraging start to the season on Wednesday night when they kick off their Carabao Cup campaign against Leicester City at Anfield.
The Reds beat West Ham 3-1 at home on Sunday to make it five wins out of six in their Premier League fixtures so far this season. Throw in a 3-1 victory away at LASK in the Europa League and Jurgen Klopp’s men have been almost perfect in all competitions.
Klopp is expected to ring the changes against the Foxes, but he may have to make some checks on a couple of first-team stars for the game.
Trent Alexander-Arnold took a knock in the 3-0 win over Aston Villa, limping off and straight down the tunnel with just under 20 minutes to play.
Jurgen Klopp admitted afterward that it was a hamstring problem and that the Scouse full-back has not played in the three weeks since that game.
Alexander-Arnold is back out running but hadn’t returned to full training in time for West Ham but could be back to face Tottenham on Saturday 30 September.
Thiago Alcantara
Thiago Alcantara was close to a long-awaited return to action before suffering a setback in training in August.
Jurgen Klopp confirmed that Thiago was to return to training after Newcastle on August 27, but the Spaniard would return too quickly and has yet to be involved since.
“Thiago had a little setback. He started training with the team and had a little setback so we have to slow down there a little bit,” Klopp said.
“It’s not cool for him, it’s not cool for us but it’s how it is. Thiago will use the (September) international break for that, to be up to speed I’m pretty sure. It should hopefully be enough. All the rest are available.”
Thiago continues to work away from the main group but Liverpool will hope to reintegrate him into full training soon.
He was then left out of the group that traveled to Singapore following a minor, unspecified injury and has not featured in any matchday squads since the start of the season, though has been involved in training since his teammates returned to England.
Once fit the Northern Irishman is expected to slot into Klopp’s plans as an understudy to Alexander-Arnold, having proven himself in League One with Bolton Wanderers last year.
Expected return date: Unknown.

Melissa Shares Isaac’s Sweet Reaction to Baby No. 3 — But His Unexpected Name Choice Has Everyone laughing
As the Kearney family prepares to welcome baby number three, fans have been flooding Melissa with heartfelt questions — and her recent responses have sparked laughter, love, and a few happy tears across social media.
When a follower asked how she was feeling and if Isaac was excited about the new arrival, Melissa didn’t hold back her joy:
“Not long at all 😬 Both Isaac and Florence are so excited! I can’t wait to share the special moment with you all — the first time they meet 🥰”
But what truly captured everyone’s hearts was what she shared next
“Isaac is so loving, gentle, and he’s obsessed with tiny babies, so he’s just going to be amazing.”
Anyone who’s followed Isaac’s journey knows how much emotion, depth, and innocence he brings to every moment. But even Melissa couldn’t predict his latest idea — when asked if he still wanted to name his new sister “Connor Bradley,” fans were hit with a twist that had them laughing through tears.
“He wants our new baby to be called Mohammed now 🤭”
Yes — Mohammed!
The unexpected suggestion has fans giggling, but also admiring the beautiful mix of imagination and love that Isaac carries. Whether it’s naming his new sister or simply getting ready to meet her, one thing is clear: Isaac is already in big-brother mode, and his excitement is contagious.
In a world full of headlines, this moment reminds us that joy still lives in the simple things — like a little boy’s love for a sister he hasn’t even met yet.
As the countdown to baby number three continues, fans can’t wait to witness that magical moment Melissa promised: the first time Isaac and Florence meet their new sibling. And who knows — maybe “Mohammed” will become a nickname that lives on in family memory forever.

Liverpool reach agreement to sell player in permanent transfer – Medical now being prepared
Liverpool Agree to Sell Defender in €30m Deal – Medical Set as Leverkusen Close In
Liverpool have reached a full agreement to sell defender Jarell Quansah to Bayer Leverkusen in a permanent deal worth €30 million plus bonuses, according to reports from Germany. The transfer is now in its final stages, with the player’s medical examination already being prepared.
Renowned Sky Deutschland journalist Florian Plettenberg broke the news on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), confirming that Leverkusen have sealed a deal with Liverpool to sign the 22-year-old centre-back. Quansah is expected to sign a five-year contract with the Bundesliga club once medicals are completed next week.
Quansah made 25 appearances under Arne Slot last season and has attracted growing attention with his composure, strength, and ability to play out from the back. His development has impressed several clubs across Europe, but Leverkusen have now taken the decisive step to secure his signature — especially after the recent departure of defensive stalwart Jonathan Tah.
Interestingly, this isn’t the only business between the two clubs this summer. Florian Wirtz, Bayer Leverkusen’s midfield gem, is also edging closer to a high-profile move in the opposite direction. The 22-year-old German international reportedly arrived in the UK on Thursday to undergo medical tests ahead of a record-breaking move to Liverpool, which could become the most expensive transfer in British football history.
With Quansah set for a new chapter in the Bundesliga and Wirtz on the verge of becoming Anfield’s newest star, the summer window is heating up fast for both clubs.
If all goes according to plan, Quansah’s transfer will be made official in the coming days, marking a major defensive addition for Erik ten Hag’s side and another high-profile exit from Anfield.
Stay tuned for more updates as both clubs look to finalise paperwork and confirm medicals.

“We Chose Not to Share It”: Isaac Kearney’s Secret Reaction to Trent’s Departure Leaves Fans Heartbroken
In the world of football, farewells are never easy — not for players, not for fans, and certainly not for those whose hearts beat for the game in the purest form.
One such heart is that of young Isaac Kearney.
When news broke about Trent Alexander-Arnold’s departure, fans were eager to know how Isaac, a devoted Liverpool supporter, felt about it. His passion for the Reds and his unmistakable connection to the game have always been evident, especially through the eyes of his loving mum, Melissa.
One fan, curious and concerned, asked Melissa directly:
“How did Isaac react to Trent leaving?”
Her response was simple, honest — and quietly devastating:
“He was actually sad… we just chose not to share 😢 It’s going to be an emotional summer for us if any more players leave 😬”
That single sentence revealed a world of emotion that had remained hidden — a little boy processing the departure of one of his heroes, in silence. While many fans posted their farewells and tributes, Isaac’s grief was private, tender, and unspoken.
The choice not to share his sadness was perhaps a way to protect his vulnerability — or maybe it was too raw to put into words. But now that the truth is out, fans are rallying around him with messages of love and support.
“He doesn’t need to say it — we can feel it through Melissa’s words,” one supporter commented.
“It breaks my heart knowing he held that in. Kids like Isaac remind us why football is more than just a game.”
As the summer unfolds and transfer news continues to shake the football world, Isaac’s mum has already prepared fans for the emotional ride ahead.
“It’s going to be an emotional summer for us if anymore players leave.”
Isaac may be young, but his loyalty runs deep. His silence speaks volumes — and it’s a powerful reminder that behind every football headline is someone quietly feeling the weight of change.
For Isaac and so many others like him, football isn’t just a sport. It’s connection. It’s family. And it’s heroes like Trent who leave behind not just a gap in the team, but a hole in a young fan’s heart.

This Will Break You: Florence’s Growing Understanding of Isaac’s Sickness Leaves Fans in Tears
In a moment that has touched hearts across social media, Melissa recently opened up about how young Florence is beginning to understand her brother Isaac Kearney’s health condition — and her words have left fans emotional.
It started with a simple question from a concerned follower:
“Does Flo know that Isaac is sick or that she is physically ahead?”
Melissa’s honest response was nothing short of moving.
“Yes, she is starting to understand more now… she asks so many questions. But she is so good, and she knows when he needs help and exactly what he needs — and she is always there to help him ❤️”
For many, this moment revealed something extraordinary — a little girl’s deep sense of empathy, awareness, and pure love for her brother.
While Isaac continues to face health challenges, Florence’s quiet strength and willingness to stand by him have become a symbol of hope. She’s not just his sister; she’s becoming his little guardian, his friend, and his helper — often knowing what he needs without a single word spoken.
Fans have since flooded the comment sections with love and admiration. Many say they were moved to tears reading Melissa’s words, while others shared stories of siblings rising to the occasion in similar ways.
One follower wrote,
“This made me cry. Kids understand more than we think. Florence is an angel on earth.”
As Isaac continues his journey, it’s clear he has someone truly special walking alongside him — a little sister who sees beyond his condition and chooses to love, help, and protect him with all her heart.
This story reminds us all of the quiet, powerful bonds that can grow between siblings — and how sometimes, the smallest among us carry the biggest hearts.

Alexander Isak bombshell drops as report confirms how much Liverpool are willing to pay for Newcastle superstar
Liverpool have re-emerged in the race to sign Newcastle United star Alexander Isak and a new report has revealed exactly how much they’re ready to pay.
Just three weeks after lifting the 2024/25 Premier League title, Liverpool have already been busy in the transfer market, signing right-back Jeremie Frimpong as their replacement for Trent Alexander-Arnold.
Shortly after completing the signing of Frimpong, reports claimed that Liverpool had agreed a Premier League record deal for his former Bayer Leverkusen teammate Florian Wirtz, with Bournemouth’s Milos Kerkez also expected to join the Reds.
But it appears that Liverpool will not stop there, as a new report has claimed that they are now exploring a deal for top transfer target Isak, who has attracted interest from several major clubs this summer.
Off the back of an incredible season for Newcastle United, Isak emerged as one of the most exciting strikers in the world, leading to links with Arsenal, Barcelona and several other massive clubs.
However, a report from GiveMeSport suggests that it is Liverpool who are the favourites to sign the Swedish international, and they are prepared to break the British transfer record for a second time this summer in order to do so.
The report claims that Liverpool view Isak, who scored 26 goals and assists six across 42 appearances in all competitions, as their dream signing and are willing to go all out to pursue him.
Following Newcastle securing qualification for the next season’s Champions League, it is believed that Newcastle will demand a bid upwards of £150million if they are even to consider selling their star player.
Although this astronomical price tag would be off putting to many of the other clubs interested in Isak, it is believed that Liverpool are not ruling out such a large bid, if they feel that they can make a deal work.
In order to do so, Liverpool hope that they can secure a respectable transfer fee for out-of-form striker Darwin Nunez, who has been heavily linked with a move to Napoli, Atletico Madrid and several Saudi Pro League sides.
The Uruguayan is just one of several forwards that could leave Anfield this summer, with the likes of Harvey Elliott, Luis Diaz and Diogo Jota all potential outgoings.
Should any of these attackers be sold, then Liverpool will look to spend the money raised on a deal for Isak or, failing that, they will accelerate their pursuit of other strikers, including Joao Pedro, Hugo Ekitike and Julian Alvarez.

Liverpool fans send warning to Real Madrid after seeing what Trent Alexander-Arnold did just minutes into his debut
Liverpool fans have issued a warning to Real Madrid after seeing what Trent Alexander-Arnold did just minutes into his debut.
Alexander-Arnold was handed a place in the starting XI for Real’s Club World Cup opener against Al Hilal following his high-profile transfer from Liverpool.
He took up a position at right-back and Liverpool fans were quick to react to his first showing for his new club.
Al Hilal got off to a blistering start and enjoyed spells of success from the England international’s side.
The Saudi Pro League side capitalised on Alexander-Arnold’s mistake in the 19th minute as Renan Lodi opened the scoring before his effort was ruled out for offside.
The moment prompted Liverpool fans to send a warning to Real, claiming it was a ‘sample’ and a ‘taste’ of things to come.
One X user wrote: “Real Madrid just got a sample of the defending they can expect from Trent Alexander-Arnold. He’s lucky that flag went up lol.”
A second added: “Real Madrid just got a taste of Trent Alexander-Arnold having next to zero defending instincts.”
A third commented: “Get used to it lads.”
Another said: “Looooool 18 mins in and Trent Alexander-Arnold was out of position got done by Renan Lodi, who scored, but it was offside.”
Alexander-Arnold, however, showed off his range of passing when he picked out a pass to set up a stunning counter-attack, resulting in a goal – with Gonzalo Garcia slotting home from close range.
He has also been stepping into midfield rather than staying wide, attempting to influence the game.
Al Hilal levelled just seven minutes later when Ruben Neves sent Thibaut Courtois the wrong way to convert a penalty.
Speaking at the break, former Champions League winner John Obi Mikel said Alexander-Arnold must ‘tighten’ up his defensive work but hailed his ability to go forward.

Not His Appointment, But Still Her Hero: Isaac Kearney Supports His Little Sister at the Hospital
For once, today’s hospital visit wasn’t about Isaac — but that didn’t stop him from showing up with his usual charm, compassion, and quiet courage.
In a tender moment shared by his mum, Melissa Kearney, on Isaac’s official Facebook page, fans got to see a new side of the young star. She wrote:
“So today’s hospital appointment isn’t actually for Isaac, for once😬
But he’s here supporting his little sister and encouraging her to be brave❤️”
The photo and caption immediately struck a chord with followers, with many praising Isaac not just for his usual energy and charisma, but for his gentle heart and emotional maturity.
It’s easy to celebrate a child for their public moments — their smiles, their talents, their viral clips — but it’s in moments like this that we see the real character behind the camera: a big brother standing tall beside his little sister, quietly cheering her on.
Whether he’s the one in the doctor’s chair or simply holding someone’s hand from the sidelines, Isaac continues to teach us that true bravery is just as much about support as it is about strength.
One thing’s for sure: the Kearney family isn’t just raising a star — they’re raising a solid, kind-hearted young man.

-
“Wait… is this THE Jamie from Isaac’s favorite playlist?”
-
“He’s going to cry when he finds out. Mark my words.”
And one fan simply said,

The Power of the Unexpected
What makes this moment so powerful is how grounded and real it is. Melissa didn’t announce it with cameras or a red carpet — just a genuine expression of motherly love, preparing a surprise that may become one of the most memorable days in Isaac’s life.
This isn’t just another celebrity kid surprise.
This is a mother knowing the heart of her child — and making it beat faster with joy.
