Carsley makes strange Alexander-Arnold decision amid bold squad selection – report

Trent Alexander-Arnold has never started more matches for England than under current caretaker boss Lee Carsley but that hasn’t stopped another strange decision from being made.

As reported by BBC Sport on X: ‘Lee Carsley is set to play Trent Alexander-Arnold at left-back against Finland this evening.’

Before the former Everton boss took the job on a temporary basis, our vice captain had never started more than two successive games but the match with Finland is set to be the fourth in a row for our man.
