Image Credits: Imago ImagesThomas Tuchel’s England squad has already thrown up plenty of shocks before a ball has even been kicked in North America, with Trent Alexander-Arnold now finding out his fate.The biggest early headline came from Harry Maguire, who took the unusual step of confirming his own omission with a heartfelt statement on social media, admitting he was “shocked and gutted” to find out he would not be on the plane after forcing his way back into the Manchester United side and into Tuchel’s March squads.Maguire is far from the only big name to pay the price.In midfield, some of the Premier League’s most in-form players have been brutally cut.
Morgan Gibbs-White, who has been tearing it up for Nottingham Forest and was widely tipped as a late bolter for the final 26, has not made the squad.The same goes for young Adam Wharton, season had many believing he would sneak into the group after impressing for Crystal Palace and putting himself firmly in the World Cup conversation earlier in the year.Add in the absences of other big-hitters like Phil Foden and Cole Palmer and it becomes clear this is not a conservative, continuity squad – it is a reset.And it looks like Trent Alexander-Arnold is another causality of Tuchel’s new regime, with the Real Madrid man officially left out of the final World Cup squad.The former Liverpool vice-captain has had injury issues this season to be fair to him, suffering a hamstring injury in September that would keep him out for six weeks.In December he would go on to suffer another muscle injury, ruling him out for the better part of two months. All of this has played out in a Madrid side that, by their standards, has had an underwhelming year.The Three Lions announced the squad in video format below:Come Together. pic.twitter.com/BAsCH4YCjx— England (@England) May 22, 2026 england Trent Alexander-Arnold
