Tuchel Drops Alexander-Arnold From England World Cup Squad

England manager Thomas Tuchel has excluded Trent Alexander-Arnold from the squad for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Andorra and Serbia, following the player's challenging start at Real Madrid after his high-profile transfer from Liverpool. Meanwhile, Marcus Rashford returns to the squad after his loan move to Barcelona, and Nottingham Forest's Elliot Anderson along with Tottenham's Djed Spence receive their first senior call-ups. Key players such as Jack Grealish, Kyle Walker, and Ivan Toney were also left out, while injured players including Cole Palmer, Jude Bellingham, Bukayo Saka, and Phil Foden miss out on selection. England currently lead Group K with three wins but suffered a recent 3-1 loss to Senegal, marking a momentum check under Tuchel's management. The squad features a blend of experienced players and promising newcomers as England prepare for their crucial qualifiers. Tuchel continues to search for the optimal team formula ahead of the World Cup qualifiers.
