Footage of Trent Alexander-Arnold arriving for Liverpool's defeat against Spurs in the Carabao Cup has emerged and fans are worried.
Alexander-Arnold's future continues to dominate the back pages with Real Madrid doing everything in their power to sign the Liverpool vice-captain.
The Spanish giants have already seen a January approach to sign the 26-year-old this month immediately rebuffed by the Merseyside club who face the prospect of losing of of the club's biggest assets for nothing in the summer.

Alexander-Arnold is currently free to negotiate a pre-contract agreement with foreign clubs but various reports state his representatives are yet to engage in talks with Madrid and staying at Anfield is not out of the question.
His worst performance of the season during the 2-2 draw with Manchester United in the Premier League compounded fan frustrations who are desperate to see the right-back commit his long-term future to the club.
Alexander-Arnold dropped out of the starting XI for Liverpool's trip to Spurs in the League Cup with deputy right-back Conor Bradley taking his place instead but the Northern Irish international was unable to prevent Arne Slot suffering his second defeat since replacing Jurgen Klopp thanks to a controversial Lucas Bergvall goal.

Now, footage of Alexander-Arnold arriving to the stadium has emerged on social media and it's left supporters concerned.
One supporter can be heard telling the Liverpool-born defender that fans are "still behind him" and to "keep his head up" but Alexander-Arnold does not respond in any way.

@SRipper9 said: "Completely ignores the fans! He worries me, his attitude seems very off lately, as does his body language..."
@JamesGerrard wrote: "Blanked, I noticed he's stopped clapping the fans when he walks over for corners at Anfield, too. Something he's always done."
However, Liverpool fan @johnpeat speculated that Alexander-Arnold might not have heard the fans writing: "Defo got AirPods in and can hear nothing."
Alexander-Arnold could return to the team when Liverpool face Accrington Stanley in the FA Cup on Saturday and Slot was adamant after the draw against United that the England international is solely focused on the season ahead and not interest from Real Madrid.

“What I do know this season, all the points and all the results we got this season are deserved,” the Dutchman said.
“All the players are fit at the moment but if we drop points when we have injuries, people say it is because you have injuries.
“If we drop points when Mo misses a penalty against (Real) Madrid, he is distracted by his contract situation. If Trent has not his best performance, he is distracted by the contract situation.

“If they play really well nobody tells me, ‘That’s because they have a contract situation’.
“We always try to find arguments but nine out of 10 times the best argument is the quality of the team you face or the game-plan the other team has.”
