Alexander-Arnold has been a crucial player for the Reds under Jurgen Klopp over the years. However, he has failed to make an impact under Southgate for England.
The full-back has made meager 17 appearances for the Three Lions. He has often fallen behind the likes of Kyle Walker, Reece James, and Kieran Trippier in the pecking order.
Most of his appearances under Southgate have been from the bench or in insignificant games.
According to The Telegraph, as reported by HITC, the England manager is concerned about the drama surrounding Alexander-Arnold. There has been a lot of speculation and talk about Southgate not using the Liverpool man enough.
Southgate believes those reports are harming the player as well.
Alexander-Arnold has been excellent for Liverpool over the years, scoring 15 goals and providing 62 assists in 246 games. He has helped Jurgen Klopp’s side win the Premier League and the UEFA Champions League as well, among other honors.
Gareth Southgate said that England can make the best era in their history by winning the 2022 FIFA World Cup
England were the semi-finalists during the 2018 World Cup in Russia and were eliminated by Croatia. The Three Lions finished as the runners-up in the UEFA Euro 2020 last year as they were beaten by Italy in the final on penalties.
Southgate has now claimed that they could mark the best era in their history by winning the 2022 FIFA World Cup. He said (via The Hindu):
He added:
Southgate also lauded Borussia Dortmund youngster Jude Bellingham’s ability and maturity as a player, saying:
Bellingham, 19, has earned 17 caps for England and provided one assist.
