Micah Richards has insisted Trent Alexander-Arnold must start for England at the upcoming World Cup and would suit the 'slower' nature of international football.
The Liverpool right-back played no part in the Three Lions' UEFA Nations League fixtures against Italy and Germany at the end of September and has long been overlooked by manager Gareth Southgate despite elite-level performances by the Reds' right-back at club level.
A dip in form this season has done little to increase Alexander-Arnold's chances of being named in Southgate's World Cup squad, but recent injuries to both Kyle Walker and Reece James may well have changed the dynamic.
