ARNE Slot admits he is unsure how Liverpool's supporters will greet Trent Alexander-Arnold’s return when Real Madrid arrive at Anfield for Tuesday's Champions League clash.

Alexander-Arnold was set to leave as a free agent at the end of his Reds contract before the Spanish giants paid a £10m premium to sign him at the start of June in time for the Club World Cup in the United States.
Many Liverpool fans viewed Alexander-Arnold’s move as a defection at the time and the England international could be subjected to a hostile welcome upon his comeback.
Alexander-Arnold was jeered by fans at Anfield just days after it was confirmed he would be leaving the club in early May and while Reds boss Slot says he will be happy to see his former player, he concedes he is uncertain how the Kop will respond to their ex-vice captain on the night.
