Jude Bellingham Omitted from Latest England Squad

England manager Thomas Tuchel has left star midfielder Jude Bellingham out of his squad for the upcoming matches against Wales and Latvia. Bellingham, who was just named England Men's Player of the Year, missed the previous camp in September after shoulder surgery but has since returned to play for Real Madrid. Despite being fit, he was not included in the 24-man lineup. Tuchel explained his decision, stating he wanted to keep faith with the group that secured two wins last month. "It was only three weeks since the last camp... so the question was why not bring the same group in because they set the standard," he said. The squad sees the return of Arsenal's Bukayo Saka from injury. However, players like Cole Palmer, Phil Foden, and the injured Trent Alexander-Arnold were again not selected.

Crystal Palace striker Jean-Philippe Mateta has been called up to the French national team for the first time. The 28-year-old was included in coach Didier Deschamps' squad for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Azerbaijan and Iceland. Mateta's selection is a reward for his outstanding form.

Trent Alexander-Arnold Dropped by Tuchel for Qualifiers

Trent Alexander-Arnold is facing battles at both club and country level after being left out of Thomas Tuchel’s England squad for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Andorra and Serbia. The 26-year-old made a high-profile move from Liverpool to Real Madrid in the summer, but his start in Spain has been far from smooth.

Now his international career has taken another hit, with Tuchel once again showing his lack of trust in Alexander-Arnold defensively. The coach even went as far back as June to select midfielder Curtis Jones ahead of him at right-back in a qualifier against Andorra, when Alexander-Arnold only featured for 26 minutes. He did not play at all in the following friendly against […]
