Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has dismissed criticism that Trent Alexander-Arnold isn’t a good defender and claimed the “world-class player” will always be in his team.
The Reds right-back suffered yet another England snub, with Gareth Southgate opting to not give him a minute in the most recent batch of fixtures. Alexander-Arnold was an unused substitute vs Italy, before missing out altogether against Germany.
It has left the 22-year-old sweating over his World Cup place with Southgate preferring a number of options instead of him. Following his disappointment with the national side, the defender is back with his club and back with a manager who knows how to get the best out of him.
