Liverpool fullback Trent Alexander-Arnold is wary of showing any signs of weakness in front of manager Jurgen Klopp.

Alexander-Arnold has been a staple name on Klopp's team sheet since making his debut for his boyhood club in 2016, with the Anfield faithful watching the youngster's development first hand.

Speaking to The Times, Alexander-Arnold shared that his body language was assessed by staff at Melwood.

"There was a lot of focus on my body language on the pitch," he says. "If I got tired, I would slouch. I would start crouching down, getting cramp and stretching it off.

"The manager always told me it was a bad sign if my opposite number sees me blowing because then he thinks, 'I can get at him here, he is losing his concentration'."

He continued: "If I see a left back, or left winger, getting tired then it gives me a boost. Or if I see Mo [Salah] giving their left winger the runaround, then I am thinking just give the ball to Mo.

"You don't want to be that weak link in the team. I had to really concentrate on that and make sure that when I was tired, I didn't show it to the rest of the world."
