Alexander-Arnold excelled in a hybrid role in the latter part of 2022-23 as Liverpool finished the campaign strongly, and he has been deployed in a deep midfield during pre-season. But Klopp said on Saturday: "After we put him in this flexible role, everyone told us he should play completely in midfield without saying why. "It's a completely different position to the one he played last season, or he played for England, because it's a holding position. You have to organise much more. "Trent can play the position - it depends on who is on the left and right of him. "We really thought it was a very good and important thing to do this pre-season. "We still want to try it with Trent as a right-back again. Then we'll see how we'll start the season." Liverpool continue preparations for the new season when they take on Leicester City at Singapore National Stadium on Sunday (10:00 BST kick-off). They then complete their tour of the Far East with a friendly against Bayern Munich at the same venue on Wednesday (12:30).){kind=link}
