Thomas Tuchel tells Trent Alexander-Arnold surprise Premier League cast-off is 'ahead' of him for World Cup place: Manager plans visit to Madrid for talks

Thomas Tuchel says he will consider travelling to Real Madrid to talk to Trent Alexander-Arnold about his England prospects.

Alexander-Arnold has not played for his country since been given 26 minutes as a substitute during the 1-0 win against Andorra in Barcelona last June. That represents the only appearance he has made for Tuchel.

Now, with only two March friendlies standing between now and next summer's World Cup in America, Tuchel has indicated that he will sit down with the 27-year-old right back in Spain.

'First of all, it's my job now to make contact with everyone, players like Trent,' said Tuchel after Sunday's final qualifying win in Albania.
