Foden's England form questioned amid tough selection calls
20 Mar
Summary
- Foden's low goal ratio for England raises concerns.
- Alexander-Arnold faces surprise exclusion from the squad.
- Manager Tuchel cites sporting decisions for right-back choices.
Phil Foden's place in the England squad is under examination due to his modest record of four goals in 47 international appearances. This low goals-to-game ratio places him among players with the least prolific scoring records for the Three Lions. He faces competition from Cole Palmer for a starting position in upcoming matches.
In a surprising turn, Trent Alexander-Arnold has been omitted from the squad. Manager Thomas Tuchel clarified that this was a sporting decision, prioritizing other right-backs such as Jarell Quansah, Tino Livramento, and Djed Spence. Tuchel noted that these players offer different profiles and have demonstrated stronger performances in recent matches, despite Alexander-Arnold's considerable talent and career.
