Trent Alexander-Arnold's exclusion from the England squad raises eyebrows, with many pointing fingers at Jude Bellingham. Alexander-Arnold has made just one 26-minute appearance under Thomas Tuchel, missing out on the last three squads due to injuries and form issues. His absence for upcoming friendlies against Uruguay and Japan is a critical blow, especially ahead of the World Cup. Tino Livramento, Djed Spence, and Jarell Quansah were picked over him, with Ben White stepping in for the injured Quansah. Alexander-Arnold expressed frustration, stating, “Madrid. And nothing else.” Tuchel emphasizes a need for intensity, citing Alexander-Arnold's lack of dynamism. Both Roy Keane and Wayne Rooney speculate on deeper issues behind the snub. Rooney insists Alexander-Arnold deserves a spot, highlighting his unique skills and recent form at Real Madrid. The debate continues over his role in the national setup.
