It does, though, reduce Southgate\u2019s strength in depth. Alexander-Arnold had been called up as a midfielder, however, he also provides cover at right-back. It may mean that less experienced players play a bigger role in the friendly with Scotland as Southgate will be keen to manage the minutes of his squad.
