Former coaches Arrigo Sacchi and Fabio Capello have named Trent Alexander-Arnold and Virgil van Dijk in their ideal World Cup XIs.
The Italian duo were asked by Gazzetta Dello Sport to select their respective dream-teams ahead of the 2022 World Cup next month. Several Liverpool players are set to represent their countries in Qatar alongside the the best players from around the world.
Both agreed on selecting Alexander-Arnold at right-back, despite the 24-year-old's place in Gareth Southgate's squad being far from secure. The Reds star was left out of the matchday squad to face Germany in the Nations League in September, but long-term injuries to Kyle Walker and Reece James may have left the Three Lions boss with little choice.
