The Liverpool vice captain initially reported to training at St. George’s Park as a midfielder for the games against Scotland (12 September) and Ukraine (9 September), but has since withdrawn due to the injury he sustained in the victory against Aston Villa.
The 24-year-old, who took over as captain on Sunday in Virgil van Dijk’s absence, was taken off the pitch for treatment at the 70th minute of the Reds’ 3-0 triumph over Villa at Anfield.
Klopp revealed Alexander-Arnold had suffered a hamstring injury, but it appeared to be “not too serious” as he headed straight down the tunnel after leaving the field.
Alexander-Arnold’s injury is severe enough to prevent him from playing in either of England’s forthcoming matches, and given the length of time it will take for him to recuperate, he is questionable for Liverpool’s first match following the break, an away match against Wolves on September 16.
He will only miss one Premier League game, according to the Athletic report, so he should be available to play against West Ham on September 24 at Anfield.
Between those two games, the Reds also travel to Austria for their Europa League group stage start against LASK (21 September), a game Alexander-Arnold might also skip out on as a precaution.
