Liverpool Defender to Make his National Debut

Trent Alexander-Arnold is set to make his England debut against Costa Rica as Gareth Southgate lays final touches on world cup preparations.

‘For sure Jack Butland plays in goal and we will make a few changes – Trent Alexander-Arnold will make his debut,’ Southgate said at a press conference in Leeds.

Southgate added: ‘For these two matches we always had in our mind to give everybody in the squad a significant amount of game time.”

This means that Jack Butland will start in goal ahead of Jordan Pickford who was handed the number one Jersey and will be first choice in Russia.
