Trent Alexander-Arnold was left out of this month's England squad and Thomas Tuchel's decision to call up Ben White after an injury to Jarell Quansah intensified the debate over his placeGary Lineker believes that there's something 'personal' behind Thomas Tuchel's decision to leave Trent Alexander-Arnold out of his England squad.

I'm just guessing in terms of what it might be, whether it's his attitude, whether it's he's not brilliant defensively.

I don't know whether it's his attitude or whatever it is, I don't know. I wouldn't judge him on that because we don't really know what exactly happened in the camp and his reasons for not playing."The players do within the squad, and you know there were talks about big fall-outs and him not being treated very well, you know, and then Tuchel says he's called him up, he's brought him in."That's fine, but I can't see how he can still be ahead of Trent Alexander-Arnold.
