Liverpool defender Trent Alexander-Arnold has been handed another new role for England against Finland.

Interim manager Lee Carsley opted to field the Reds full-back at left-back with Kyle Walker returning to the starting XI.

The Three Lions were looking to bounce back from their 2-1 defeat to Greece this week as Vangelis Pavlidis scored twice to stun the Wembley crowd.

Alexander-Arnold played the entire match against the nation ranked 48 in the FIFA rankings, with Manchester City defender Rico Lewis deputising at left-back.

For the Liverpool vice-captain, it was the third different position for England after Gareth Southgate opted to deploy the 25-year-old in midfield before Carsley restored his place in defence.

Following their defeat on Thursday, England slipped to second in their Nationals League group, behind Greece.

Explaining the decision, the caretaker said: "He's multi-versatile, he can do it.

His role will be different to a conventional left-back, in terms of his positioning, but got a lot of confidence in Trent.

"We were looking for a reaction, it's fair to say we fell below the levels that the players set themselves and what's expected.

We can use it as a positive," Carsley added.

Alexander-Arnold has been a polarising figure on the international level as many scrutinised his capabilities to feature at the back, with the likes of Walker and Kieran Trippier also battling for the starting berth.

Liverpool are next in action against Chelsea on Sunday and unlike many international breaks, Arne Slot will be afforded a little bit longer with some of his stars with Alexander-Arnold set to be among the first to return from duty.
