Liverpool have been linked with a possible replacement for Trent Alexander-Arnold, while one player has been absent from training.
Today’s Main LFC Headline
According to Sky Sports‘ Lyall Thomas, RB Leipzig right-back Lutsharel Geertruida is a possible option for Liverpool this summer.
He claims that Arne Slot “remains an admirer” of the Dutchman, with the pair working together during their time at Feyenoord.
Geertruida would surely only be considered an option if Alexander-Arnold departs for Real Madrid, though, which remains likely.

Liverpool FC: On this day
On this day in 1965, Liverpool won the FA Cup for the first time in their history, beating Leeds 2-1 at Wembley.
After a 0-0 draw, extra-time was required to separate the two sides, with Roger Hunt opening the scoring, Billy Bremner equalising and Ian St John heading home the winner for the Reds.
It was the first of eight FA Cups that Liverpool have won, with their most recent success in the competition coming back in 2022.
Also on this day in 2019, Liverpool lost 3-0 away to Barcelona in the first leg of their Champions League semi-final tie.
Wonder what happened next!
