Tuchel says ex-Liverpool star ‘a tiny bit ahead’ of Alexander-Arnold in England pecking order
England coach Thomas Tuchel plans to personally contact players who were overlooked for recent squads.
Tuchel intends to explain his selection decisions and outline what is required for these players, including Trent Alexander-Arnold, to secure a place in his World Cup plans.
Tuchel said Alexander-Arnold’s former Liverpool teammate, Jarell Quansah, who also left Anfield this summer, is “a tiny bit ahead” of Alexander-Arnold in the England pecking order right now.
England concluded their Euro 2024 qualification campaign on Sunday with an undefeated record, winning all eight Group K matches without conceding a goal.
Tuchel expressed his strong attachment to the current England squad, acknowledging it will be challenging for new players to break into the established group.
