Gary Lineker has backed comments from Jamie Redknapp about Liverpool "missing" Trent Alexander-Arnold this season, after a week that saw the Reds lose three times. And speaking on the Rest is Football podcast, Lineker believes the Reds are missing Alexander-Arnold's attacking output this campaign.

"I also think that Mo [Salah] is missing him, that connection that they had. "You've got to say it was worth his weight in gold going forward, and I always used to say, 'Stop worrying about him [Alexander-Arnold] making the odd tiny mistake defensively, because what he gives you the other way is incredible." Lineker's comments echo those put forward by Redknapp over the weekend, with the former Reds icon similarly convinced his old club are experiencing difficulties in the right-back position.

They're missing Trent [Alexander-Arnold]," Redknapp told Sky Sports on Saturday. This international break could be a good chance to reset." Liverpool.com says: It's too easy to say that the Reds are missing Alexander-Arnold.
