Alexander-Arnold gives England injury scare in Euro 2020 warm-up

The Liverpool right-back sustained the injury just before full time of the 1-0 win over Austria while clearing the ball with his left foot near the touchline.

Trent Alexander-Arnold has made 12 appearances for England since his debut in 2018.

Trent Alexander-Arnold gave England an injury scare barely a week before the European Championship by hobbling off with a suspected left hamstring injury in a warm-up match on Wednesday.

The Liverpool right-back sustained the injury just before full time of the 1-0 win over Austria while clearing the ball with his left foot near the touchline. No Austria player was near him.

 

Alexander-Arnold immediately signalled to come off, and ended up being helped around the perimeter of the field by a member of England's medical staff at the Riverside Stadium in Middlesbrough.

He was one of four right-backs selected by England coach Gareth Southgate in the 26-man squad for Euro 2020, so the team does have plenty of cover if Alexander-Arnold is ruled out.
