The latest news, discussion and buildup before Saturday’s football action
Regarding Trent Alexander-Arnold’s England recall, here’s what Tuchel had to say …
… and here is Sid Lowe’s analysis, the view from Spain:
Thomas Tuchel said Trent Alexander Arnold had enjoyed a good start to the season, which came as news to those in England who have not been watching him at Real Madrid. It also, in truth, came as news to those in Spain who have. If the England manager did not see enough in Alexander-Arnold to include him in the World Cup in the summer he has not really had the chance to see enough to change that decision as autumn begins. Two unremarkable league starts provide insufficient evidence with which to make a case for the full-back’s recall, or indeed his exclusion, but he is in the squad.
