"I think there's something personal, because football-wise there's no argument, a baffled Lineker said on his podcast, The Rest Is Football. I can't see how he cannot be in that squad because he has to improve your chances, even if it's from the bench."
"I suspect there's something that Tuchel does not like about Trent Alexander-Arnold, he revealed. I'm guessing in terms of what it might be, whether it's his attitude, whether it's he's not brilliant defensively."
"There has to be something in that because it makes absolutely no sense. You've got players playing in his position, with all due respect, that are not in the same league as him, certainly with the ball at his feet."
Gary Lineker criticized the decision to exclude Trent Alexander-Arnold from the latest England squad, calling it insulting. He noted that with Reece James injured, Alexander-Arnold should have been a natural choice. Instead, Thomas Tuchel opted for Ben White, who had not played for England since 2022. Lineker suggested that the decision may stem from personal issues rather than footballing merit, questioning Tuchel's reasoning and implying that Alexander-Arnold's skills surpass those of other players selected for the squad.
