He’ll be fine."Virgil van Dijk is captaining the Netherlands at the World Cup(Image: ANP via Getty Images)17th Jun16:00 BSTReal Madrid wants another defenderJose Mourinho is planning an ambitious £80 million ($107 million) move for Manchester City's Ruben Dias.Real Madrid is growing increasingly optimistic about its chances of tempting Dias to the Bernabeu.The Spanish team has already secured the services of one top Premier League defender this summer, having agreed to sign Ibrahima Konate on a free transfer from Liverpool.That transfer hasn't officially been announced yet.17th Jun15:03 BSTCarragher on Trent's omissionJamie Carragher had this to stay about Trent Alexander-Arnold once again being overlooked for a spot in the England squad yesterday:"We know the special qualities that Trent Alexander-Arnold has – that's the reason Real Madrid have him, that's the reason Liverpool supporters were so upset to lose him... but the qualities Trent has – and maybe the deficiencies as well, we should add that – are the reason why Thomas Tuchel has not picked him."17th Jun14:52 BSTShearer raves about 'top-class' BarcolaBradley Barcola has emerged as a serious contender to replace Mohamed Salah at Liverpool, and he certainly made a compelling case for himself during France's 3-1 World Cup victory over Senegal on Tuesday.Despite beginning the match on the bench, Barcola was introduced with 10 minutes of normal time remaining and wasted no time in making his mark.

He's in control, a little dink, such a clever finish."17th Jun14:35 BSTAlisson expected to stayDespite interest from Juventus, Alisson is expected to remain at Liverpool next season ahead of the expiry of his contract in 2027.Alisson was open to joining the Turin club, but he decided against agitating for a move due to the respect he has for Liverpool.Although he will continue to man the sticks for Liverpool next season, the expectation is that he will move on as a free agent next year.17th Jun14:25 BSTCarragher's Trent theoryJamie Carragher believes Trent Alexander-Arnold was snubbed once again by Thomas Tuchel because his qualities would not stand out under the German."We know Thomas Tuchel's stance now regarding Trent," Carragher told Sky Sports. "When you look at some of the players in the squad, it almost looks like he's picking center-backs who can do a job at right-back rather than an out-and-out right-back."We know the special qualities that Trent Alexander-Arnold has – that's the reason Real Madrid have him, that's the reason Liverpool supporters were so upset to lose him... but the qualities Trent has – and maybe the deficiencies as well, we should add that – that's the reason why Thomas Tuchel has not picked him."Maybe he (Tuchel) has looked at the negatives more than the positives with Trent."The way he wants to set his team up – maybe Trent's strengths don't get amplified as much in a Tuchel team as much as maybe a Jurgen Klopp team or at Real Madrid."I wouldn't say I'm overly surprised that he hasn't gone for Trent.
