Tuchel won't choose Alexander-Arnold again: 'He chose unity over quality'

England manager Thomas Tuchel has made a shocking decision in selecting players into his squad for the World Cup. He did not choose Trent Alexander-Arnold, but chose Trevoh Chalobah instead as a replacement for the injured Tino Livramento. The British media were skeptical of the choice. But it's not surprising. Jamie Carragher commented on Tuchel's decision: “We know what Tuchel thinks about Trent, he likes to pick a central defender rather than a true right-back. We know Trent's quality and there's a reason Real Madrid want him. And Liverpool fans don't want him to leave.” The Independent expressed their dissatisfaction with the decision, stating: "Alexander-Arnold He is a highly experienced Champions League player and a well-known Premier League player. He also holds the record for most goals in the history of a defender in the Premier League.” However, Alexander-Arnold Instead, he was dropped to seventh on the England team's list of right-backs. He is also considered inferior to the likes of Reece James, Livramento, Djed Spence, Ezri Konsa, Jarell Quansah and Chalobah. Sky Sports also went on to explain why Alexander-Arnold was not called up, stating: "There were two reasons. One was that they weren't sure if he would make it to America in time. And the other reason is that he doesn't want to bring in famous players if they aren't going to get a lot of playing time.” --- ## Related Articles 1.
