Trent Alexander-Arnold ‘should not start for Liverpool’ while future uncertain

Trent Alexander-Arnold should not start games for Liverpool if he has told the club he is leaving, Jamie Carragher has said.

Alexander-Arnold’s future is in considerable doubt amid Real Madrid interest in the right back, whose contract expires this summer. He scored on his return from injury on Sunday as Liverpool beat Leicester 1-0 to put one hand on the Premier League title.

Former Liverpool captain Carragher believes Alexander-Arnold should be left out of the side unless he has committed his future to Arne Slot’s side.

“If Trent hasn’t committed to the manager for next season, he shouldn’t be starting games,” Carragher said on Sky Sports.
