Liverpool manager, Arne Slot, has confirmed that Trent Alexander-Arnold will not start against Arsenal.
Slot is set to start Conor Bradley in his place.
Alexander-Arnold announced his exit from the Premier League champions last week.
The 26-year-old is now set to sign for Real Madrid as a free agent.
With the Reds having clinched the title a fortnight ago, their match against second-placed Arsenal does not mean a lot.
Speaking to the media on Friday, Slot said: “Conor will start on Sunday because he needs more games under his belt to prepare for next season. Let’s not compare him with Trent, they are two different types of players.
“For me he is already there ahead of development than being at Chelsea for the first time. Unfortunately, he hasn’t been fit all season but to become a good player you have to be fit all season but we have a lot of confidence in him as a very good full-back for Liverpool.”
