Trent Alexander-Arnold debate ignores England safety net that could fuel World Cup hopes

It’s looking increasingly likely that Trent Alexander-Arnold will play little to no role in this winter’s World Cup.

The Liverpool star has been away on international duty with the Three Lions for the last week, but was an unused substitute during Friday's 1-0 defeat to Italy and has also been left out of the England squad to face Germany.

He, along with Jack Grealish (suspended), Jarrod Bowen, Fikayo Tomori and James Ward-Prowse have all been dropped for the clash, although it’s perhaps he who’ll be feeling most despondent. Despite being such a key competent during Jurgen Klopp’s golden era at Anfield, he seems unable to forge even a bit-part place in Southgate's side.
