Arsenal defender Takehiro Tomiyasu has admitted his surprise at Liverpool midfielder Thiago Alcantara being left out of Spain's 26-man World Cup squad.
Thiago enjoyed an outstanding 2021/22 campaign with the Reds after helping Jurgen Klopp's side to two major trophies and within touching distance of both the Champions League and Premier League.
The Spaniard has served as a calming presence within the club's midfield department since joining from Bayern Munich during the summer of 2020 but continues to be overlooked on the international stage.
