Jurgen Klopp has expressed shock over Trent Alexander-Arnold’s axing from the England squad and admitted he cannot understand Gareth Southgate’s decision.
Alexander-Arnold, 22, was left startled and angry about being cut from Southgate’s plans for the World Cup qualifiers with San Marino, Albania and Poland.
It now looks likely that he will not be involved in this summer’s European Championship.
The move from Southgate was such a surprise to Liverpool that Klopp had to re-configure his training sessions during the international break to include Alexander-Arnold, having initially expected him to be away for most of the two weeks with his country.
