00:00So obviously from a Newcastle perspective, one thing the fans want to know is Trent Alexander-Arnold and Ibrahima Kanat, they both went off against PSG.
00:07What's the latest on their injuries and will either of them play on Sunday?
00:12I think the way Trent Alexander-Arnold went off, it's unlikely he's going to be involved.
00:18He went down in a fair bit of pain and needed several minutes of treatment and was forced off the field to quite disappointing to go off
00:26because he also missed the Carabao Cup final last year, so that's a successive Wembley appearance he's going to miss out on.
00:33I think ankle injuries, sometimes you are worried with the pain because they can be quite sore but they may be not as bad,
00:38whereas sometimes players go off with knee injuries and it ends up being an ACL tear, but I would suspect that he's going to be out.
00:45Kanaté, Arnaud Slot seems to hope that he's going to be fit, it seems like he's going to be cramp, he's played a lot of football this season.
00:54The only thing with Kanaté is he has had injuries in the past and when he's had maybe a minor injury it's prolonged,
01:03he's been out for longer than expected, but he's been managed fairly well this season overall.
01:08He's only had one period out with injury, so Arnaud Slot seems to think he'll be okay.
01:14If he's not okay then Liverpool have got real defensive issues on their hands.
