Kyle Walker, a seasoned former England and Manchester City defender, has voiced his surprise regarding Thomas Tuchel’s decision to omit Trent Alexander-Arnold from the World Cup squad.
Manager Thomas Tuchel recently made waves across the football community by excluding several prominent players from his travelling party for the upcoming international showcase.
Notable players such as Cole Palmer, Harry Maguire, and Phil Foden will be watching England’s World Cup campaign from home. The exclusion of Trent Alexander-Arnold, however, is seen by many as the most perplexing decision concerning the Three Lions’ lineup.
During an interview on talkSport this past weekend, Walker, England’s long-standing right-back, was questioned about his fellow defender. His response was unequivocal:
“It’s unbelievable that a player of Trent’s caliber isn’t selected for England. We often focus on his perceived weaknesses, but it’s crucial to acknowledge his strengths. He is arguably the world’s best right-back when it comes to passing accuracy, delivering crucial balls, creating assists, and his performance in significant matches.”
