Trent Alexander-Arnold was not included in England's initial squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. After Tino Livramento was ruled out due to injury, Thomas Tuchel chose Trevoh Chalobah as Livramento's replacement instead of Alexander-Arnold. Tuchel's preference appears to favor players with stronger defensive abilities, despite Alexander-Arnold's offensive skills. This exclusion follows a season marred by injuries for Alexander-Arnold, who plays for Real Madrid. At 27, he has 34 caps for England but will have to wait for future opportunities in international competitions.
