Former Liverpool striker Michael Owen has issued a firm warning to Trent Alexander-Arnold ahead of the defender’s highly anticipated return to Anfield.
Alexander-Arnold, who spent years developing through Liverpool’s academy before becoming one of the club’s most influential players, is set to face the Anfield crowd once again — but this time under very different circumstances. His move away from the club sparked intense debate among supporters, and emotions are expected to run high when he steps onto the pitch.
Speaking ahead of the fixture, Owen reminded the full-back of the pressure that comes with returning as an opponent to a stadium where he once received unwavering support.
> “Anfield doesn’t forget,” Owen cautioned. “Whether it’s applause or hostility, players feel every bit of it. Trent needs to be ready for a reaction.”
Owen, who experienced a similar scenario when he returned to Liverpool wearing rival colours, explained that the atmosphere can be overwhelming, especially for a player deeply connected to the club and its fanbase.
Liverpool fans are expected to voice their emotions loudly, with many eager to see how Alexander-Arnold handles the occasion. The match is already shaping up to be one of the most emotionally charged moments of the season.
