LIVERPOOL will not be able to bring back Nathaniel Clyne to cover for sidelined defender Trent Alexander-Arnold.

Clyne, who earlier this month joined Cherries on loan until the end of the season, made his first Premier League start for the Dorset club in Sunday's defeat to Everton.

A day earlier, Alexander-Arnold had sustained a knee injury during the warm-up of Liverpool's win at Brighton.

The England international, who subsequently played 90 minutes, could be out for up to a month.

It is understood the Reds are unable to recall Clyne, meaning Jurgen Klopp's fit-and-available options in that position are Fabinho, James Milner and Rafael Camacho.
