Liverpool fans have taken to social media to question the club’s medical team amid the high number of injuries hitting the senior squad.

On Wednesday, it emerged that Trent Alexander-Arnold is set to miss the Carabao Cup final at the end of the month after aggravating a knee injury in the win over Burnley. 

He joins Dominik Szoboszlai and Thiago Alcantara in aggravating injuries, and missing games at a crucial time of Liverpool’s season as they fight on four fronts.

Fans on X (formerly Twitter) felt that the Liverpool medical team had to change their ways due to the escalating number of recurring injuries.

Trent Alexander-Arnold became the latest name to join Liverpool’s long list of injuries

Thiago Alcantara also suffered an injury setback as he made his return to the Liverpool side

One noted: ‘It really is not a good look on Liverpool’s medical team the fact Trent, Szoboszlai and Thiago are all injured so quickly after returning from injury.

‘Trent and Szoboszlai are the major concerns especially as it’s the same injury that’s reoccurred so quickly.’ 

Another added: ‘Questions need to be asked about Liverpool’s medical team. They’re rushing people back from injuries and constantly underestimates the length of these injuries.

‘“Will be out for three weeks” quickly turns into six/seven. It happens time and time again.’

‘Liverpool medical team need investigation man, wtf are these injuries so ridiculous,’ wrote a third, while another said: ‘Liverpool FC have to fire their medical team by the way. Trent Alexander-Arnold and Dominik Szoboszlai aggravating injuries is a disgrace.’

Alexander-Arnold, Szoboszlai and Thiago are not the only injury issues currently affecting Liverpool’s first team.

Joel Matip sustained an ACL injury in December, with no timescale placed on his recovery, while Mo Salah sustained a muscle injury whilst on international duty with Egypt at AFCON last month.
