Trent Alexander-Arnold has no qualms about Adrian replacing Alisson in the Liverpool goals.

Alisson injured his calf against Norwich City on Friday, with Jurgen Klopp confirming he will miss the next few weeks of action.

Adrian replaced the Brazilian at Anfield and Alexander-Arnold says the former West Ham United man is capable of being the Reds number one goalkeeper.

"[His experience] is the main thing, he knows what he is doing. He's played a load of games, so he knows what it is about," the 20-year-old told the Evening Standard .

"The reception he got [on Friday], I think he feels as though the supporters are already behind him.

"Obviously when a keeper has to come off, it's never too promising, so yes, I think everyone needs to get their head around [the fact] that he probably will be our keeper for the next few weeks and if so, then we have to live with that, embrace that and I'm sure he will learn from us.

"We will be able to make good connections with him and I think a lot of the lads have made bonds with him already because he's such a good lad off the pitch.

"He's a great lad to have around and obviously he is playing now, that is good for him and us."
