Day after near-fatal car crash, Trent Alexander-Arnold spotted back in training; to play in Merseyside Derby

Liverpool's Trent Alexander-Arnold, who survived a car crash on Friday, has been selected to play in the highly-anticipated Merseyside derby against Everton. The Sun reported the incident, describing how the English footballer narrowly avoided a catastrophe when a large structure fell onto the road in front of his Range Rover during strong winds in Cheshire.

Alexander-Arnold, 25, managed to swerve and avoid the obstacle, but ended up colliding with a BMW X5. Thankfully, both drivers emerged from the incident unharmed, although the footballer was visibly shaken. Despite the close call, Alexander-Arnold joined his Liverpool teammates for a pre-match walk near Everton's Bramley-Moore Dock stadium on Saturday morning, ahead of the crucial clash at Anfield. A victory in this match could put Liverpool at the top of the Premier League table.

The aftermath of the collision revealed the extent of the damage to Alexander-Arnold's Range Rover, with the front-left bumper mangled and the headlight shattered. The electrical wires from the bonnet were exposed, and parts of the car were hanging loosely, indicating the intensity of the impact.


The BMW involved in the collision also showed signs of damage, with a missing headlight, a wheel resting on its rim, and a noticeable crack along its bodywork. The Cheshire Police quickly responded to the scene, ensuring the safety of all involved and coordinating the shutdown of the electricity supply from the fallen pylon. In a statement, the authorities confirmed that no one was injured, and the situation was resolved within a few hours.

The incident occurred during Storm Babet, which caused widespread disruptions and accidents across the country, including a passenger plane skidding off the runway at Leeds Bradford Airport. Despite the shocking experience, Alexander-Arnold showed his dedication to his team by returning to training with Liverpool later on Friday.
