Trent Alexander-Arnold Aims for England Return Amid Tuchel Silence
Trent Alexander-Arnold hopes to earn a place back in the England squad this week. He has not yet had direct contact with manager Thomas Tuchel.
International prospects and squad timing
The England manager will name his squad on Friday. Friendlies against Uruguay and Japan follow the announcement.
Alexander-Arnold was left out of last August’s World Cup qualifying selections. Competition for full-back roles remains intense.
An injury to Chelsea captain Reece James has improved Alexander-Arnold’s chances. The Real Madrid defender is optimistic about a recall.
Player comments and intent
The 27-year-old confirmed to Amazon Prime Video that he had not spoken to Tuchel about selection. He expects the squad reveal to determine his immediate plans.
He described representing England as an honour and signalled readiness to impress ahead of the summer World Cup.
Club form and Champions League impact
Alexander-Arnold endured an injury-hit start in his first season at Real Madrid. Recent weeks have seen his form improve markedly.
He played a role as Real converted a 3-0 first-leg lead into a 5-1 aggregate victory over Manchester City. Vinicius Jr scored twice in the tie.
That result sends Madrid into the Champions League quarter-finals, where Bayern Munich are the likely next opponents.
Coaching and squad contributions
Alvaro Arbeloa, a former Liverpool right-back, has overseen Alexander-Arnold’s revival at the Bernabeu. Arbeloa replaced Xabi Alonso earlier this season.
Senior and younger players have stepped up in crucial fixtures. Fede Valverde and Vinicius Jr received particular praise for recent performances.
Players such as Thiago Pitarch have also made notable contributions. Alexander-Arnold said the club’s expectation to win the Champions League drives performance.
