Paul Merson has made a “petrified” claim involving Liverpool star Trent Alexander-Arnold and England manager Gareth Southgate.
The Reds full-back is part of the 26-man squad that has travelled to Qatar for the World Cup. England’s first match is against Iran on Monday, with speculation continuing to circulate as to who Southgate will select in his line-up.
As well as Alexander-Arnold, England have other right-back options at their disposal. Southgate has also included Newcastle United’s Kieran Trippier and Manchester City’s Kyle Walker as part of the squad.
