The defender has been in sensational form for Liverpool since the turn of the year and he could have been a key player for his country during this summer’s Euro 2020.
England will certainly miss his quality from set-pieces and his long-range passing. He has been Liverpool’s main source of creativity in recent seasons.
The young defender would have expected to make a big impact on the international stage with his country this summer and it is understandable why he is gutted with the timing of his injury.
It will be interesting to see if he can recover swiftly and return to pre-season with Liverpool next month.
Although the player is disappointed with the injury blow, it could be a blessing in disguise for him.
He has been a regular starter for Liverpool over the last few seasons and a considerable rest period could do him a world of good ahead of the start of the next season.
England have already named four right-backs in their squad and they should be able to cope with the injury blow. The likes of Kieran Trippier, Kyle Walker and Reece James are all good players although neither of them can make a difference going forward as well as Alexander-Arnold.
