Yesterday defender Trent Alexander-Arnold got injured playing against the Austria national team, and today it became clear that the injury is indeed serious. The English Football Association announces that the "Liverpool" defender suffered a thigh injury, which should keep him out of action for approximately 6 weeks. Despite all the rumors, the Englishman was selected for the final 26-man squad of the England national team, but now it is clear that Gareth Southgate will have to choose someone else instead of him. It is still unclear who will be the 26th person in place of Alexander-Arnold, as Henderson and Maguire also have health problems, so Southgate may choose another center-back or midfielder. The most realistic options that could replace Trent are Ben White, James Ward-Prowse or Jesse Lingard.
