Trent Alexander-Arnold has been embroiled in an ongoing England selection debate following his omission from Gareth Southgate’s squad for the World Cup qualifiers in March.

With the fullback’s form being somewhat questionable over the course of the season, particularly in comparison to the last two trophy-laden seasons for the club, the No.66 has fallen down the pecking order to the likes of Reece James and Kieran Trippier.
