Liverpool’s No.66 was rewarded for a fine season at club level with a spot in Gareth Southgate’s 23-man party for the ongoing tournament in Russia.
After impressing on his senior international debut in a friendly against Costa Rica earlier this month, Alexander-Arnold could make his competitive bow for his country in their opening Group G fixture with Tunisia on Monday evening.
Steve McMahon knows exactly how the 19-year-old is feeling, with the former Reds midfielder having been part of England’s squad at Italia ’90.
And McMahon feels Alexander-Arnold should commit everything he learns while away at his first major senior international tournament to paper, so he can remember the time clearly in the future.
