Thomas Tuchel omits Trent Alexander-Arnold from England World Cup squad

England manager Thomas Tuchel has named Trevoh Chalobah to replace the injured Tino Livramento in the 26-man World Cup squad. In a surprising decision, Tuchel has not included Trent Alexander-Arnold, who now appears to be at least seventh in the right-back pecking order despite his accolades. Critics argue this omission overlooks Alexander-Arnold’s significant contributions and experience, particularly given his successful club career with Real Madrid. Speculation continues about Tuchel's rationale behind preferring other players in the squad, even as the World Cup approaches and Alexander-Arnold's capabilities remain under question.
