England Squad Omissions: Alexander-Arnold, Shaw, and Watkins Left Out
The latest provisional England squad announcement has revealed some significant exclusions, with Trent Alexander-Arnold, Luke Shaw, and Ollie Watkins reportedly not making the cut. This news arrives as managers Mikel Arteta and Pep Guardiola prepare their respective teams for the Carabao Cup final.
The omission of Trent Alexander-Arnold is particularly noteworthy. Despite previously being out of favour earlier in the season, the Liverpool defender has since become a regular starter, featuring in seven of his club's last nine matches. His recent consistent form makes his exclusion a talking point.
Joining him on the sidelines is fellow full-back Reece James, who is currently unavailable for selection due to a hamstring injury sustained during a recent match against Newcastle. His absence, even from an expanded 35-man squad, appears to be a precautionary measure given his recovery timeline.
The goalkeeping contingent for the squad has been confirmed to include Dean Henderson, Jordan Pickford, James Trafford, Aaron Ramsdale, and Jason Steele, providing a robust selection of shot-stoppers for the upcoming international period.
