<\/p>\n
Jurgen Klopp revealed that Trent Alexander-Arnold \u2018felt his hamstring\u2019 before being substituted in Liverpool\u2019s win over Aston Villa on Sunday.<\/p>\n
Alexander-Arnold was excellent during the dominant 3-0 win over the Villains in the Premier League at Anfield, providing an assist for Dominik Szoboszlai and generally impressing on the ball.<\/p>\n
However, it was worrying for Klopp and Reds fans as they saw the England star limp out of the contest after 71 minutes, heading straight down the tunnel and looking uncomfortable.<\/p>\n
Klopp revealed that Alexander-Arnold did not seem too concerned by the issue, but any mention of a hamstring complaint is clearly a worry.<\/p>\n
Asked about the injury, the German said: \u2018He felt his hamstring. It\u2019s not too serious is his opinion but we have to wait for the scans.\u2019<\/p>\n
With the international break following this round of Premier League action, Liverpool are not playing again until 16 September when they travel to take on Wolves.<\/p>\n
The club will be hoping that Alexander-Arnold\u2019s injury is nothing serious and he misses little or no action, although clearly a hamstring problem could mean a lengthy period on the sidelines at its worse.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
England play Ukraine on 9 September and then Scotland three days later, so Alexander-Arnold\u2019s involvement in both games is clearly in doubt.<\/p>\n
Outside of the concern over Alexander-Arnold it was a very good day for Jurgen Klopp\u2019s side, with a Matty Cash own goal and a Mohamed Salah strike completing a surprisingly easy win over Villa who were poor on the day.<\/p>\n
The three points makes it 10 from four games to start the campaign in impressive fashion, with their only dropped points coming at Chelsea on the opening day.<\/p>\n
On the victory and performance, Klopp said: \u2018Top game, best for a while. I don\u2019t know the last time we were that convincing. <\/p>\n
\u2018It was really good, offensively and defensively. You can\u2019t do one step less against Villa. Early goal might have helped. We looked really good.\u2019<\/p>\n
