"It's my job now to make contact with everyone, players like Trent, Tuchel said. Players that are on our longlist, 55, 60 players, to reach out to them, be in touch with them, explain to them why they were not here. Explain to them what they have to do, where they can improve. Can they even do something or is it just a choice? So this is my job in the next weeks and months."
"I have a lot of trust in Jarell. I see his talent but I see the package. He is tall, he is fast, he is strong in buildup, he is strong in the air. I saw him very strong playing for Liverpool in this position. I always wanted to try. And he plays every minute for Leverkusen since the under-21 Euros. He is at the moment a tiny bit ahead."
"Tuchel named a squad of 25 for the qualifiers this month against Albania and Serbia, meaning he has to speak to at least 30 players who failed to make the cut. The German anticipates a lot of discussions before England's next camp in March, when they will ramp up World Cup preparations with two friendlies, possibly against Japan and Uruguay."
Thomas Tuchel intends to reach out to players on a 55–60 player longlist who missed his latest England squad, including Trent Alexander-Arnold. Alexander-Arnold has not been called up since June, played little part in qualifying, and faces new competition from Jarell Quansah. Quansah is valued for his height, speed, aerial and buildup strength and has played every minute for Bayer Leverkusen since the under-21 Euros, placing him slightly ahead in contention. Tuchel named 25 players for the recent qualifiers and plans many discussions before the March camp, which will increase World Cup preparations with two friendlies.
