# Liverpool: James Pearce makes Trent Alexander-Arnold injury claim

**Trent Alexander-Arnold could be fit for Liverpool’s vital Premier League clash with Manchester City, according to journalist James Pearce.**

### The Lowdown: Liverpool suffer Trent blow

The Reds are firing on all cylinders at the moment, with their quadruple chances still alive going into April, in what could be a legendary season at Anfield.

They suffered a blow recently, however, with Alexander-Arnold suffering a [hamstring issue](https://theathletic.com/news/trent-alexander-arnold-in-race-to-be-fit-for-liverpools-trip-to-manchester-city/6zVXJaVqL9Dz/) in the 2-0 win away to Arsenal in the Premier League.

It was reported that he would miss ‘[weeks](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11669/12568979/liverpools-trent-alexander-arnold-out-for-weeks-with-hamstring-injury-says-manager-jurgen-klopp)‘ and therefore the potentially season-defining trip to City on April 10th, but that may have changed.

### The Latest: Promising update emerges

Taking to [Twitter](https://twitter.com/JamesPearceLFC/status/1508755761052237830?s=20&t=DLLyloRBsc5uaokIJU1SEQ) on Tuesday, [*The Athletic*](https://theathletic.com/news/trent-alexander-arnold-in-race-to-be-fit-for-liverpools-trip-to-manchester-city/6zVXJaVqL9Dz/)‘s Pearce claimed that Alexander-Arnold could now be available, in what is a significant update:

> “Trent Alexander-Arnold’s rehab progressing well. Chance he could be fit for crunch clash at the Etihad on April 10 – but that would be a quick return. Important hurdles still to clear. (Includes an update on Naby Keita too).”

### The Verdict: Potentially result-defining

Alexander-Arnold’s influence is absolutely enormous, so him starting at the Etihad a week on Sunday has the potential to alter Liverpool’s title chances.

The 23-year-old is the Reds’ main creative force, [registering 15 assists](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/318871/Show/Trent-Alexander-Arnold) this season, with so much of their play coming through his wand of a right foot, in terms of his passing, crossing and energy down the flank.

Alexander-Arnold being fit would give City so much more to worry about than if Joe Gomez plays at right-back, with all due respect to the makeshift full-back, and it would enhance Liverpool’s hopes of picking up one of their biggest Premier League wins of all time.
