The 33-year-old clearly isn’t the ideal option there as he’s right footed (to the surprise of positively no one) and it has been highlighted as one of England’s issues.
Trippier was then expected to drop out of the starting lineup for Saturday’s game against Switzerland as Gareth Southgate considered switching to a three-man defensive unit, with Trent Alexander-Arnold and Bukayo Saka at one point tipped to be the wing-backs.
However, Southgate then spoke in glowing terms about Trippier on Friday before reports emerged suggesting the Newcastle star would start over Alexander-Arnold.
Jamie Carragher, it’s fair to say, is not happy.
