Thomas Tuchel Excludes Trent Alexander-Arnold from England World Cup Squad

Real Madrid right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold has been omitted from England’s squad for the upcoming World Cup. Head coach Thomas Tuchel confirmed the decision. The exclusion was announced ahead of the tournament.

The news was reported by David Ornstein in The Athletic. The publication highlighted Tuchel’s choice to leave the player out of the final list. No further details were provided about the rationale.

The omission is described as a blow for England’s chances. Alexander-Arnold has been a regular starter for his club. His absence reduces the options at right-back for the national side.

Alexander-Arnold joined Real Madrid earlier this season and has featured regularly. His performances at the Spanish club were noted by observers. The player remains eligible for future England selections.

Thomas Tuchel’s squad selection emphasizes other defensive options. The coach has opted for alternatives in the full‑back positions. The final roster will be confirmed shortly.

England will travel to the World Cup without Alexander-Arnold. The squad will aim to compete despite the setback. Fans will watch the team’s preparation in the coming weeks.
