"Lineker stated, 'I think there's something personal, because football-wise, there's no argument. I can't see how he can not be in that squad because he has to improve your chances, even if it's from the bench.'"
"'There has to be something in that because it makes absolutely no sense. You've got players playing in high-pressure situations, and Trent is one of the best in those scenarios.'"
Thomas Tuchel announced a 35-man England squad for upcoming friendlies, including two uncapped players. Notably, Trent Alexander-Arnold was excluded, replaced by Ben White. Gary Lineker expressed that Tuchel's decision was 'really insulting' and implied a personal issue may exist between Tuchel and Alexander-Arnold. Lineker emphasized that Alexander-Arnold's skills would enhance the squad, even as a substitute, and questioned the rationale behind his omission given White's limited recent involvement with the national team.
