Trent Alexander-Arnold set to be omitted from England squad

The right-back had been included in Tuchel's previous squad

Trent Alexander-Arnold is set to be omitted from Thomas Tuchel’s latest England squad.

The right-back, who joined Real Madrid from Liverpool over the summer, had been included in Tuchel’s previous squad.

However, according to BBC Sport, Alexander-Arnold will not feature in the squad for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Andorra and Serbia, which are set to be announced at 12:00 BST.

The 26-year-old was also left out of the starting XI for Real Madrid’s 3-0 win over Real Oviedo on Sunday.

Nottingham Forest midfielder Elliot Anderson is expected to receive his first England call-up, while Everton winger Jack Grealish could miss out, despite impressing Tuchel’s assistant Anthony Barry during last weekend’s victory against Brighton.

The 22-year-old has been outstanding since his move to Nottingham Forest.

Anderson played a key role in the England U21 side that retained the Euros in Slovakia over the summer.

His performances drew praise not only from spectators but also from FA staff, who highlighted how he played with the composure and maturity of a seasoned professional.

Named in the team of the tournament, Anderson now looks set to be given the opportunity to cement his place as the third midfielder in Thomas Tuchel’s squad.
