The latest from the medical room at Liverpool.

00:00 Can you give us an injury update?

00:09 What does that mean for Liverpool?

00:14 It's not a surprise, he's missed the past two games.

00:19 He does pick up niggles and sometimes it takes him a little bit longer to recover.

00:27 So, obviously good news that he's probably not going to be involved in the France squad.

00:31 Maybe having that two weeks will help remedy his issue and he's back for the Wolves game.

00:38 Jain Klopp said the only source of downer on the Aston Villa game was Trent Alexander-Arnold's hamstring injury.

00:45 I asked him that after the game, how he was, and he said he wasn't too sure yet, but it's a hamstring.

00:52 Traditionally, hamstring injuries keep you out for at least a week. So, as we speak nowadays, after the game,

00:59 I'm predicting that he'll probably pull out of the England squad. If I'm honest, I can't see him being

01:04 risked with a hamstring injury. It's not like he came off with a whack to his ankle or something.

01:09 It's a muscle injury, one that can be a little bit, if you don't treat it right, it can really prolong.

01:17 So, yeah, that was a disappointment. Hopefully, he'll be off the Wolves and then you're looking at

01:21 Thiago Alcantara, who hasn't played since April with a hip injury and had a setback.

01:27 He'll have to return to training. Klopp's hoping he'll be back after the international break as well.

01:32 Let's see on that front. But overall, the injury situation isn't as bad as it could be at this stage of the season.

01:39 But yeah, Liverpool will certainly be wanting a few bodies back before the next game.
