Trent Alexander-Arnold: Why Gareth Southgate has dropped Liverpool defender for England

Liverpool right back Trent Alexander-Arnold will not be involved for England’s UEFA Nations League clash with Germany on Monday after being dropped from the squad by Gareth Southgate.

The Three Lions will face Hansi Flick’s side in their final game at Wembley Stadium before the 2022 FIFA World Cup in November, following on from Friday’s 1-0 defeat to Italy that saw them relegated to League B of the Nations League.

Alexander-Arnold was named in the 27-man squad for September's fixtures but was an unused substitute at the San Siro three days ago, and has now been dropped entirely for tonight’s game against Germany as his World Cup hopes hang in the balance.
