Trent Alexander-Arnold injury update: Is the England star out of Euro 2020?

Trent Alexander-Arnold limped off the pitch with an apparent thigh injury as England beat Austria 1-0 on Wednesday, less than two weeks before their Euro 2020 campaign gets underway against Croatia on June 13.

Trent Alexander-Arnold pulled up in the final minutes of England 1-0 win over Austria at the Riverside Stadium after clearing the ball and was then supported while walking down the sideline to receive treatment from the England medical staff. It has raised doubts about the Liverpool defender's availability for England's Euro 2020 campaign, which gets underway in less than two weeks against Croatia at Wembley on June 13.

While speaking to reporters after the game, England head coach Gareth Southgate said that Alexander-Arnold's injury was not a good sign, "We've got to see, it's obviously not a good sign that he's had to walk off the pitch, and he was in some discomfort," explained the 50-year-old. It is believed that Alexander-Arnold went off injured with a thigh injury. It now remains to be seen whether he will be fit enough to play in the Euro 2020 for England.
