Liverpool right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold misses the FA Cup third-round win over Shrewsbury Town after testing positive for COVID-19.

Trent Alexander-Arnold has become the latest Liverpool player to return a positive coronavirus test.

The Reds were forced to shut their training centres following a recent COVID-19 cluster, which forced the postponement of their EFL Cup semi-final first leg with Arsenal.

Jurgen Klopp's side have since recovered from the outbreak to see off Shrewsbury Town in the third round of the FA Cup, but Alexander-Arnold was not involved after contracting the virus.

However, Sky Sports News claims that the England international could recover in time to turn out against the Gunners in the rescheduled first leg of their EFL Cup tie on Thursday.

Klopp was also back on the touchline at the weekend after returning from isolation, while Joel Matip and Roberto Firmino were both fit enough for places on the bench.

Liverpool have been drawn against Cardiff City in the fourth round of the FA Cup after coming from behind to beat Shrewsbury 4-1 at Anfield.
