Trent is ‘not ready’
Slot said, “I don’t think he (alexander-arnold) is still ready. This game (against Plymouth) will be too early for him.
“It’s hard to say if it will be back (for Derby Merseyside).
“We also want to look at it in the long run because we do not want to take risks with so many games that come afterwards. If appropriate, then we will use it.”
Alexander-Arnold has largely been linked to a free agent in Real Madrid in the summer and Splot knows he has a good player in his hands, Bradley is the one to speed up.
He added: “For many positions, we have two (players). (Two) good right back, two good left backs, over two good central backs, and I could continue.
“The right back is just an example of that.”
Team members to play against Plymouth
The reception will rotate his team against the Plymouth Championship matches as he tries to weigh Liverpool’s commitments on four fronts.
“It’s always a difficult tie, regardless of the team you play, because it’s a game away and it’s probably their ‘final’, as is often the case when Liverpool goes anywhere,” Slot said.
“I think it’s important at these moments for players who don’t take a long time to have this play time so that if we ever need them then they are ready. If you never play them, it’s so hard for them to be ready if We take some injuries or suspensions.
“We will definitely use some players who haven’t played so much.”
