With Alexander-Arnold not in the squad, Bayer Leverkusen’s Jarell Quansah made his England debut at right-back against Albania in Tirana. <\/p>\n
“Of course I have a lot of trust in Jarell,” Tuchel said. <\/p>\n
“I see his talent, but I see the package. He is tall, he is fast, he is strong in build-up. He is strong in the air. <\/p>\n
“He plays every minute for Leverkusen since the Under-21 Euros, so he is at the moment a tiny bit ahead.”<\/p>\n
Seasoned players like Luke Shaw, Harry Maguire and Kyle Walker are also on the fringes of the squad, while Morgan Gibbs-White, Myles Lewis-Skelly and Ruben Loftus-Cheek were dropped in the latest squad. <\/p>\n
Tuchel also resisted the temptation to call up forward Danny Welbeck, who has scored six goals in 11 Premier League matches for Brighton this season.<\/p>\n
Asked whether he is going to make a lot of phone calls, Tuchel said: “Yeah, and I hate phone calls.<\/p>\n
“Better on FaceTime. Then I see the expression, at least, and get a feeling for the person. Or I need to visit them, visit training, training grounds.<\/p>\n
“We can do group visits. We can do Jude [Bellingham] and Trent. And visit the clubs. And some of them we will call. Let’s see.<\/p>\n
“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.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"With Alexander-Arnold not in the squad, Bayer Leverkusen’s Jarell Quansah made his England debut at right-back against Albania…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":268547,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[218,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-268546","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-football","tag-football","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/268546","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=268546"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/268546\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/268547"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=268546"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=268546"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=268546"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
