Alexander-Arnold supports Rhys Williams replacement
Rhys Williams filled in for Fabinho on Tuesday’s game and impressed everyone.
During the
Liverpool’s injury disaster, finding a good replacement has become difficult for the club. However,
Trent Alexander-Arnoldhas come to believe that Liverpool can trust
Rhys Williamsto play at the center of defense.
The 19-year-old replaced
Fabinhoin the first half of their 2-0 win against
Midtjyllandon Tuesday in the Champions League. It was his fourth appearance as a senior.
Fabinho has also been filling in for
Virgil van Dijkand now he could not be able to play for several weeks and it is likely that Williams will be given his place in the starting XI in the next few games.
Alexander-Arnold has supported him to help him deal with the pressure.
"Obviously he's covering in at centre-half and he's been playing unbelievable in the last few games. Obviously that happens and it's disappointing – hopefully it's not too long because we'll miss him," Alexander-Arnold said.
"That position is probably a little bare at the minute to say the least but we've got an amazing squad, you've seen Rhys Williams stepping in and doing a world class job. At such a young age with such little experience, unbelievable from him.
"He never really put a foot wrong. Well done to him and I think he's got a bright future ahead. I think he's an amazing player, he's shown that over the last few weeks. He wasn't with us much last season but he came in this season and showed how good a player he is.
"The manager obviously trusts him a lot and he's been playing a few minutes. To be thrown in at the deep end on the biggest of stages is tough to do, tough to perform, but he never really put a foot wrong. So I think he'll definitely be in the manager's thoughts hopefully come the weekend and further on."
