    Speaking on Alexander-Arnold, the England boss said: "You see 4 RBs, I just see 4 good footballers. Trippier can play RB or LB, Trent can play RB, WB and I think he can play in CM. I've seen Reece James play right of a back three, WB and in CM. Those sorts of flexible players are hugely important."
