Liverpool star Mohamed Salah has shown his 'cheeky' side in the build up to facing Southampton by joking about Trent Alexander-Arnold's often-questioned defensive ability.
Amid what has been a largely frustrating season at Anfield and beyond, their late charge for Europe has coincided with the recalled England international being moved into a hybrid role. Alexander-Arnold has impressed there, too, as he steps into central midfield when Liverpool are in possession.
From the outside, the 24-year-old regularly has to face up to criticism for the defensive side of his game - despite his obvious qualities in other areas. However, in a light-hearted dig before making his true feelings on the talented defender known, Salah waded into that debate.
