Trent Alexander-Arnold Says England World Cup Snub Left Him ‘Properly Gutted’

Trent Alexander-Arnold has said he was deeply disappointed after being left out of England’s squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The Real Madrid defender said he had hoped to make Thomas Tuchel’s final selection and kept his summer free in anticipation of travelling with the team. He said he was “properly gutted” and angry when he received the call confirming his omission. Alexander-Arnold endured a difficult first season in Spain and was not among Tuchel’s preferred right-back options. Despite the setback, he insisted that he remains committed to the England national team and will continue to fight for selection until he retires.
