Alexander-Arnold delighted for 'amazing' Liverpool teammate Gomez

Trent Alexander-Arnold has labelled the form of Liverpool teammate Joe Gomez as 'amazing'.

The England international has worked his way back into Jurgen Klopp's starting XI alongside Virgil van Dijk after being injured for parts of the season.

Asked about Gomez's form ahead of Tuesday's Champions League last-16 meeting with Atletico Madrid, Alexander-Arnold said: "Amazing. I think we seen it even last season, we've seen it since he's come into the club. Obviously he's probably struggled with injuries and not played as much as he'd have wanted to.

"At the start of the season he was probably frustrated that he wasn't getting as many minutes as he'd have wanted to, but he's been patient. He was amazing in training throughout the course of the season and once he got his chance, he took it with both hands.

"I think that's been the case with all the centre-backs that have partnered Virg so far this season. All three of them have really took their chance and been world class every time they've come in. You see it every day in training with all four of them, they apply themselves and it's no surprise to us that when they are given that chance they perform like they do day in, day out."
