Tuchel has revealed he intends to conduct a series of video calls with fringe squad members, with Alexander-Arnold amongst the high-profile names on that list.The England manager acknowledged that Jarell Quansah is presently ahead of the Real Madrid right-back in the pecking order, but he is planning discussions with players to outline what is required to force their way back into contention for next summer. Or I need to visit them, visit training, training grounds."Tuchel is planning to travel to Madrid where he will meet both Alexander-Arnold and Jude Bellingham in a bid to ensure every player feels included.The England manager initially drew up that list before announcing his squad, and players such as Ivan Toney, Mason Mount and Brighton pair Dany Welbeck and Jack Hinshelwood are thought to feature on it - but opportunities are becoming increasingly limited.Quansah has strengthened his case following his performance against Albania and now appears ahead of Alexander-Arnold in the pecking order, which must prove frustrating for the former Liverpool defender who struggled to secure a regular spot under previous manager Gareth Southgate and continues to be somewhat of a puzzle for England.However, Tuchel questioned why there should be any surprise about his intention to visit Alexander-Arnold.

"Why would I not?" said Tuchel."We can do group visits. Let's see."Listen, we've just finished this camp and I think it's important that I reach out to everyone, even to the guys we didn't pick so regularly to tell them where they are and give them honest feedback."Of course I have a lot of trust in Jarell.

I see his talent but I see the package. He is strong in the air."I saw him be very strong playing for Liverpool in this position.
