# Liverpool boosted as James Pearce provides update on Trent Alexander-Arnold

Liverpool have been handed a major boost, with James Pearce confirming that Trent Alexander-Arnold will return to full training this week.

The 22-year-old has been absent since [injuring his calf](https://readliverpoolfc.com/2020/11/09/alexander-arnold-ruled-out-for-four-weeks-with-calf-injury/) in the 1-1 draw away to Manchester City last month, prior to the international break.

Neco Williams and James Milner have filled in admirably at right-back during that time, but neither possess Alexander-Arnold’s world-class ability in that position.

Following Liverpool’s 1-0 win over Ajax on Tuesday night, Pearce confirmed on a [Q&A for](https://theathletic.co.uk/2229286/2020/11/30/liverpool-ajax-champions-league/)*[The Athletic](https://theathletic.co.uk/2229286/2020/11/30/liverpool-ajax-champions-league/)* that Alexander-Arnold’s return is imminent:

> Should be back in full training later this week.

This is a huge positive for Jurgen Klopp, suggesting Alexander-Arnold could be available for Sunday’s Premier League clash with Wolves at Anfield.

Nuno Espirito Santo’s side are a hugely dangerous attacking outfit, with Pedro Neto likely to take up the left-sided attacking role.

The thought of Williams or Milner up against him is a scary one, in comparison to Alexander-Arnold, so the hope is that he is back.

It will make such a difference, ahead of a relentless run of fixtures during the festive period.
