Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp says no one forced Trent Alexander-Arnold back from injury too soon.

The defender recently returned from three weeks sidelined with a knee problem. Now he aggravated the issue during the 3-1 win over Burnley on Saturday (10), and had to be taken off at half-time.

“As long as I am here, we never forced anybody back and will never do”, said Klopp about the situation. Alexander-Arnold is now sidelined for the Carabao Cup final against Chelsea on February 25.
“A thing we have to clarify a bit. I was not really aware of it, but I got the news that there was a discussion we might have forced Trent back because of two setbacks. Nobody wants that and nobody is doing that”, added Klopp.
“But we work in a high-performance area. We always try to catch the earliest moment [when someone is injured]. Unfortunately, when we catch that early moment, nobody speaks about that”, said the manager.
“The last decision is always with the player, but if you always listen to the player, they would play after two weeks and it’s a real problem”, said Klopp. Alexander-Arnold first injured his knee during the FA Cup third round win against Arsenal on January 7.
