Trent Alexander-Arnold continuing to learn his new hybrid role at Liverpool and England.
The Liverpool right-back has been listed as a midfielder in the England squad who began his Reds career primarily as a defender.
Since the final end of the previous campaign, Alexander-Arnold was used in both right-back and midfield duties.
England manager Gareth Southgate is keen to use the defender’s creativity in a midfielder in the upcoming European qualifiers against Malta and North Macedonia.
Alexander-Arnold has also credited his learning England teammate and Man City defender John Stones.
“From the conversations I have had with the manager and the staff, I go there as a midfielder, I’ll train there and that is where I try to play on the pitch barring the Australia game last time,” Alexander-Arnold says.
“It really does help me in that sense. I am not playing midfield week in, week out here [at Liverpool] but I am getting on the ball in central areas and knowing how to receive and conduct yourself and play a game in midfield is a lot different to at the side of the pitch.”
