England coach Gareth Southgate said he plans to give Trent Alexander-Arnold more opportunities in midfield after the Liverpool right back starred in the role during Friday's 4-0 victory over Malta in their Euro 2024 qualifier.
The 24-year-old has struggled to hold down a starting place under Southgate and earned only his 19th cap since his debut in 2018, with the England coach preferring Reece James, Kyle Walker or Kieran Trippier at full back. "I've got no questions in my head he can do it," Southgate said."It's just learning some nuances of the role, without the ball especially, but he's very keen.
"Inevitably, a lot of what happens is going to be dependent on his club. The fact he's been playing partly in there with the ball, albeit a bit deeper, has helped his transition."
