Trent Alexander-Arnold Left Out by Tuchel for England Squad

Trent Alexander-Arnold was left out of the England National Team squad by Thomas Tuchel for the matches against Uruguay and Japan.

The decision came as a surprise, given the squad's large size of 35 players.

Tuchel explained that the decision was based on sporting reasons, acknowledging Alexander-Arnold's talent.

Alexander-Arnold has only played 13 matches for Real Madrid in LaLiga, registering two assists, and featured in seven Champions League games without direct goal contributions.

He is coming off an injury, which has impacted his consistency.

Tuchel chose to give opportunities to other players in better physical and competitive shape.

The coach is confident that Alexander-Arnold will regain his form in the coming months.

Despite his absence, Alexander-Arnold is not out of contention for the World Cup, with Tuchel preferring to evaluate other full-backs before making final decisions.

Alexander-Arnold is already logging important minutes, playing nearly full matches in both games against Manchester City.

He is expected to feature in the derby against Atlético de Madrid, with the objective of regaining his top form.

The England National Team will face Costa Rica and Croatia in upcoming friendlies, where Alexander-Arnold could be considered.

Tuchel's decision will be closely watched as the World Cup approaches.

Alexander-Arnold's return to form is crucial for his chances of making the England squad.

The player's performance in the coming months will be key to his inclusion in the team.
