Trent Alexander-Arnold is running out of time to play at the World Cup after failing to make the latest England squad picked by Thomas Tuchel. The Real Madrid right back was left out of a 35-man group on Friday, with manager Tuchel preferring Newcastle's Tino Livramento, Tottenham's Djed Spence and Bayer Leverkusen's Jarell Quansah - typically a center back - as his options in that position.

"I know it's a tough one, I know it's a big name, a huge talent and a big career," Tuchel said, "but I feel I know what Trent can give us, and decided still to stick with the players who were in camp with us." Tuchel said he felt it was important to back the players who had helped England qualify for the World Cup and made a good impression on him in September, October and November training camps.
