Alan Shearer slaps down Trent Alexander-Arnold comment as England debate rages on

Trent Alexander-Arnold's latest Liverpool goal-scoring display was not enough to seduce Alan Shearer, as debate continues over his England World Cup hopes.

The right-back was selected by Gareth Southgate for the last round of international fixtures, but failed to get on the pitch and was left out of the squad for the second game with Germany. It has sparked fresh speculation over whether or not he will be picked for the World Cup in Qatar.

But he remains a firm favourite of Jurgen Klopp, the 23-year-old having been a star performer for the German during his rapid rise at Anfield. His influence in the final third has seen him come in for huge praise whilst his quality from set pieces was again on show as Liverpool saw off Rangers in the Champions League.
