Liverpool fans are fearing the worst after Trent Alexander-Arnold was substituted at half time in their clash with Burnley.
Alexander-Arnold was making just his second start since recovering from a knee injury that kept him out for three weeks.

The right-back made an impact on the game in half an hour and provided an assist for Diogo Jota from a corner for the opening goal.
That assist made him the defender who has provided the most goals in Premier League history.
But soon after that memorable moment, his afternoon at Anfield ended as he was taken off at half-time.
It is not entirely clear what caused the half-time substitution but it appears unlikely Jurgen Klopp would move midfielder Curtis Jones to right-back for tactical reasons.
Klopp has revealed that there was an illness spreading around the Liverpool squad and some fans are worried he's got the bug.
There is also plenty of concern that the early withdrawal is possibly to do with a recurrence of his injury.
One supporter wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter: "Should be said TAA didn't look 'at it'.
"Could be that recent layoff, the illness in the squad"

Another said: "I‘m scared. Fear we rushed him back,"
Liverpool were already without Alisson, Joe Gomez, Ibrahima Konate and Connor Bradley at Turf Moor.
