NEWS… BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT
Trent Alexander-Arnold cannot be trusted in a knockout World Cup game, believes Gary Neville, as Alan Shearer describes Kieran Trippier as England’s most in-form defender.
There is much debate over how England should line-up at the upcoming World Cup in Qatar, with fierce competition at right-back or right wing-back, depending on how Gareth Southgate sets up.
Alexander-Arnold appears to be down the pecking order, with Southgate preferring Trippier, Reece James and Kyle Walker, but with James and Walker both injured at the moment, he could get his chance for the Three Lions.
Having watched his performance against Tottenham on Sunday, though, Neville is not sure Alexander-Arnold can be trusted defensively, despite how great he is going forward from full-back.
