Micah Richards has urged Gareth Southgate to unleash Trent Alexander-Arnold at the World Cup.
England have huge defensive problems going into the tournament, with Kyle Walker, Reece James, Ben Chilwell and John Stones suffering injury issues and Harry Maguire struggling at Manchester United. Richards hopes that will open the door for Liverpool right-back Alexander-Arnold to show his quality in Qatar.
The former Three Lions defender believes Southgate’s only chance of success in the desert is to take the handbrake off and allow his creative players to get on the front foot. And Richards believes Alexander-Arnold should be key to the England manager’s plans.
