THE BIGGER PICTURE
England international full-back Alexander-Arnold was replaced late on as he limped to the touchline, while Colombian winger Diaz was also substituted in the closing stages after receiving treatment for a knock.

WHAT THEY SAID
Klopp has said of the “painful” blow taken by Alexander-Arnold and whether he could be forced to sit out a trip to Newcastle: “He told me he had a kick which was pretty painful. But as far as a twist or fall, it was a kick. That’s why we changed then but I hope he will be fine.”

The German added on Diaz, who was on target against Bournemouth: “As long as he was fresh and everything he was obviously super. A massive threat for everybody. He is in a good moment, no doubt about it.”

WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?
There appears to be little concern regarding the fitness of two key men in Liverpool’s plans, with the Reds having taken four points from their opening two Premier League games in 2023-24 to suggest that they can offer a positive response to the disappointment of finishing fifth last season.

Former Liverpool defender Daniel Agger admits he rejected a mega-money move to Manchester City during his playing days at Anfield – despite the Reds wanting to cash in on the defender.

Agger, now 39, made the move to Anfield from Danish Superliga side Brondby in 2006 and enjoyed a fine eight-year career on Merseyside under managers Rafa Benitez, Roy Hodgson, Kenny Dalglish and later Brendan Rodgers.

The former Denmark international was part of Benitez’s Liverpool side that came within a whisker of sealing a first Premier League crown in 19 years in 2009, only to miss out on title success to Manchester United by four points after several draws throughout the campaign.

By 2012, however, Agger found himself at the centre of a transfer tug-of-war between Man City and Barcelona, who both hoped to capitalise on the defender’s expiring contract. However, after Spanish giants Barca’s offer was blown out of the water by the UAE-backed City, Agger admits he had no interest in swapping Merseyside for Manchester.

“It was a strange one,” said Agger, reflecting on the events of 2012. “I remember I got presented for all these things and the club asked me what I was going to do and I said, ‘If you want me here, I will stay’. But I said, ‘If you don’t want me, if you don’t see me as part of your future I think it’s time that I go because I want to play football. I prefer to do it here but if you don’t think I’m good enough then I would like to go because these offers are on the table and I don’t know if I will have them next year’.

“I don’t know the story from their side, I think they agreed a price (with Barcelona) and they accepted it and came to me and said, ‘this is it’. I said, ‘okay, fair enough’. But then from the side, another offer came in which was a lot higher, which they accepted and I didn’t want to go to that club.

“I said, ‘if you want to sell me I go down there (to Barcelona) otherwise I don’t go’. And another offer came in from the same club (Man City), higher, and my feeling was that the club wanted me to go because it was a lot of money back then. I said, ‘there’s no chance I’m going to that club, so better just stop now’.”

Speaking on the ‘Aldo Meets’ Podcast, host and Liverpool ECHO columnist John Aldridge asked Agger if the other club in question was Manchester City, to which he replied: “Yeah.”

After falling down the pecking order under Rodgers in 2013/14, Agger left Liverpool and returned to Brondby in 2014, aged 29. In 2016, Agger retired from the sport altogether.
