  6. Recap: England squad announcement

    Elliot AndersonReuters

    Elliot Anderson and Djed Spence have received their first England call-ups, with Trent Alexander-Arnold among those absent from Thomas Tuchel's squad.

    The Euro 2024 runners-up host Andorra on 6 September before the Group K leaders head to Belgrade to face Serbia on 9 September as World Cup qualification continues.

    Tuchel has named a 23-man squad for the double-header, which sees Nottingham Forest midfielder Anderson involved with the senior side for the first time.

    The midfielder starred in England's Under-21 Euros triumph over the summer, while uncapped Tottenham full-back Spence also gets the nod.

    Adam Wharton is included in Tuchel's squad for the first time, but there is no place for Alexander-Arnold, Kyle Walker, Phil Foden and Ivan Toney.

    Jack Grealish and Harry Maguire continue to be overlooked by the England boss, while injury has ruled out Jude Bellingham, Bukayo Saka, Cole Palmer and Levi Colwill.

    Fit-again John Stones is included for the first time since Tuchel took charge, although he spent time with the group in Spain during the June camp as he continued his rehabilitation from a thigh injury.

    The September international break highlights the insane amount of games elite players have to go through. If this was moved to summer many simply wouldn’t get time off. That’s not fair or realistic. There’s a reason clubs are going all out to sign depth right now.

    I would have named Jack Grealish and dropped Jordan Henderson as he has done nothing and is past his best.

    Craig

    Henderson. Why? Why? Why? Why?

    Gaetano Giallanza

    Seriously, how is Jordan Henderson still getting a call-up? Is he one of the best we can get? I don't believe it.

  10. 'They had a very good tournament'

    England

    England boss Thomas Tuchel has explained his decision to include Elliot Anderson for the first time in his squad, while Newcastle's Tino Livramento is also back with the seniors.

    Oh, and it's also Tuchel's 52nd birthday. Happy birthday!

    "Very physical. A lot of volume and very good clean passing. Tino Livramento is also with us based on these observations because they had a very good tournament [at U21 Euros].

    "Anderson is also with us and pressed a lot in midfield. A regular player for Nottingham Forest and had a fantastic season. He is excited to come join us and hope he can make his mark."

  11. Europa League & Conference League draws

  12. 'The Spanish media have a narrative already on Trent'

    Guillem Balague
    Spanish football journalist on BBC Euro Leagues podcast

    The Spanish media have a narrative already on Trent: "He’s too shy, he doesn’t fit in, Carvajal will surpass him".

    I hope he hears this.

    He has a big challenge. We know he can go up and down, but can he adapt to a Xabi Alonso team and do it consistently.

    Dani Carvajal has an advantage because he can do it straight away, understands it and knows what Xabi wants. Trent needs an education on what he needs to do.

    Carvajal, even though he is 33, will be difficult to take out of the line-up.

    Never thought I'd see the day when an England squad had not a single player from either Liverpool or Man Utd. A sign of the times, both in buying foreign talent over local lads (Liverpool) and being on their knees (Utd). Still pretty shocking though.

  17. Alexander-Arnold out, Anderson receives first call-up
    Breaking

    England

    The news we brought you earlier has been confirmed - Trent Alexander-Arnold has been left out of Thomas Tuchel's England squad.

    Nottingham Forest midfielder Elliot Anderson has received his first call-up, but there is no place for Jack Grealish.

  18. Get Involved - Trent omission the right decision?

    Click 'Get Involved' button at top of page

    Anyone who doubts the fact that TAA is the best English right-back and one of the world's best needs to give their head a wobble. He is both those things and I have no axe to grind here.

    Unjust William

    When players like Reece James and Djed Spence are available, it would be criminal to have prioritised Trent when he has (with respect) shown absolutely nothing since leaving Liverpool. I don't doubt his quality, but you prove your place before entering the England squad, not while you're there.

    Harry

    Harsh but fair decision on Trent, especially considering he's behind Carvajal at Madrid it seems. James, Livramento and Spence all seem to be (fairly) ahead in the pecking order at RB. Hope Trent gains some form though, he's still definitely an asset going forward when he's at his best.

    Crystal Palace

    Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner on Marc Guehi's future amid Liverpool talks: ""He has to [be a Crystal Palace player]. It is not possible to find a Marc Guehi replacement who can play straight in the Premier League."

  20. What next for Alexander-Arnold?

    England

    Now then, what next for Trent Alexander-Arnold?

    It's not been plain sailing since he left boyhood club Liverpool for Real Madrid in the summer after starting the latest La Liga game on the bench.

    And now he has the disappointment of being left out of the England squad to deal with.

    The right-back has 34 caps but has found it difficult to nail down a spot in the side with competition from Kyle Walker and Reece James.

    After an unsuccessful spell in midfield under Gareth Southgate, it seems as though Alexander-Arnold still has work to do to nail down an England spot.
