Gary Lineker claims it is a "nonsensical myth" that Trent Alexander-Arnold can't defend as debate continues following his England snub.
The Liverpool right-back was named in the most recent Three Lions squad, but failed to play in either of their recent outings and was left out of the squad all together for the game with Germany. Alexander-Arnold has been a key cog at Liverpool for several years with his influence in the final third a crucial weapon.
His deficiencies defensively have been highlighted as an issue, with some suggesting that is behind his England snub as the likes of Kyle Walker and Reece James sit above him in the pecking order. At Liverpool Alexander-Arnold is freed up from some of his defensive duties - a luxury he is not afforded at England.
