Jurgen Klopp has dismissed suggestions Trent Alexander-Arnold may have been affected by his frustrating World Cup – as he saluted a “crazy” achievement from Andy Robertson.
Alexander-Arnold was restricted to a solitary 33-minute appearance from the bench as England reached the quarter-finals of the recent tournament in Qatar.
The right-back was then unavailable for Liverpool’s Carabao Cup exit to Manchester City on Thursday through illness but returned with an impressive display in the 3-1 Premier League win at Aston Villa on Boxing Day.
