Thomas Tuchel Apologizes for "Repulsive" Remark as Alexander-Arnold Misses England Squad
Chelsea's manager, Thomas Tuchel, apologized for calling his team's behavior "repulsive" during an England friendly defeat in June. This apology came as Trent Alexander-Arnold was left out of the latest England squad for the World Cup qualifiers against Andorra and Serbia.
Tuchel explained that Jude Bellingham was recovering from shoulder surgery, leading to his absence from the squad. The squad saw the inclusion of players like Marcus Rashford, Jarrod Bowen, and Jordan Henderson, while Bukayo Saka and Cole Palmer were ruled out due to injuries.
Tuchel emphasized the need for a tighter squad to increase competition for places. England will face Andorra on September 6th and then travel to Belgrade to take on Serbia.
