When quizzed on his decision to leave the Real Madrid man out of the squad, Tuchel replied: "We decided for a tighter, more competitive squad, we didn't use all 23 players.
There is no doubt I am a big fan of Trent and Jack Grealish.
"Big players and big personalities, always in the mix.
The competition is up."
