Although he eventually managed to get to his feet, Alexander-Arnold was visibly struggling to walk and took over four minutes to leave the pitch before heading straight down the tunnel at Anfield. His replacement, Jarrell Quansah, came on to see out the rest of the game, which ended 0-1 after extra-time as PSG prevailed 4-1 on penalties.
WHAT THE FANS ARE SAYING
Recent speculation has linked Alexander-Arnold with a summer move to Real Madrid, and his potential absence for the rest of the season has fuelled fears among the Anfield faithful that he might have played his last game in a Liverpool shirt.
