Gary Lineker criticizes England head coach Thomas Tuchel for choosing Ben White over Trent Alexander-Arnold, calling the decision “insulting.” Tuchel excludes Real Madrid's Alexander-Arnold from his 35-man squad, despite Reece James' injury. Instead, he selects Newcastle’s Tino Livramento and Arsenal’s White, who has barely featured for his club this season. Lineker suggests a “personal” issue may underlie Tuchel's decision, emphasizing that Alexander-Arnold should be included for his game-changing abilities. He states, “It makes absolutely no sense… you’ve got players in his position that are not in the same league.” Lineker also questions White's preference, noting his past reluctance to represent England. David Beckham echoes Lineker's sentiments, highlighting Alexander-Arnold's unique attacking prowess despite defensive criticisms. The omission raises eyebrows as the England squad prepares for upcoming international fixtures.
