Thomas Tuchel intends to visit Trent Alexander-Arnold as part of plans to tell players left out of his latest England squad how they can earn a spot at the World Cup.
The head coach has as many as 60 players on his longlist, few with a bigger profile than Alexander‑Arnold. However, the Real Madrid right‑back looks a long shot to win back his place before the finals tournament next summer. Alexander‑Arnold is in Tuchel’s thoughts but he has not been called up since June, played little part in England’s perfect qualifying campaign and saw a new competitor in his position emerge when Bayer Leverkusen’s Jarell Quansah made his debut in the 2-0 win against Albania in Tirana on Sunday.
