However, Jurgen Klopp confirmed Alexander-Arnold would be out for 'weeks' before the 1-0 FA Cup quarter-final win at Nottingham Forest.

Liverpool have a huge trip to Man City on Sunday 10 April.
The Reds trail the Premier League leaders by just a point and many regard the seismic encounter as a title-decider.
What’s been said
The Athletic reports that Alexander-Arnold 'faces a race against time' to be involved against Pep Guardiola's side, though, and it would 'represent a quick return to action given the nature of the problem'.
For Saturday's visit of relegation-threatened Watford, Joe Gomez is the likeliest candidate to deputise.
He did well in the victory at Forest.

Liverpool then travel to Benfica in the Champions League quarter-final first leg before going to City.
The Reds should have Naby Keita available against Watford, however.
