""First of all, it's my job now to make contact with everyone," Tuchel said. "Players like Trent, players that are on our long list, 55, 60 players, to reach out to them, be in touch with them, explain to them why they were not here. Explain to them what they have to do, where they can improve. "Can they even do something or is it just a choice, so this is my job in the next weeks and months.""
"With Alexander-Arnold not in the squad, Bayer Leverkusen's Jarell Quansah made his England debut at right-back against Albania in Tirana. "Of course I have a lot of trust in Jarell," Tuchel said. "I see his talent, but I see the package. He is tall, he is fast, he is strong in build-up. He is strong in the air. "He plays every minute for Leverkusen since the Under-21 Euros, so he is at the moment a tiny bit ahead.""
Thomas Tuchel will contact every unselected England player to explain selection choices and specify what they must improve to be considered for the World Cup. Jack Grealish and Trent Alexander-Arnold were omitted from the current qualifiers. England finished qualification top of Group K with eight wins from eight matches and without conceding a goal. A March training camp will precede the final squad naming for the World Cup, scheduled 11 June to 19 July across Canada, Mexico and the United States. Jarell Quansah debuted at right-back and received praise for his physical and technical attributes. Several experienced players remain on the fringes and recent Premier League form did not guarantee selection.
