Tuchel’s latest 35-man pick for the final pre-World Cup camp once again arrives without Curtis Jones, whose wait for a recall goes on.
Former Liverpool right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold, now at Real Madrid, is an even bigger headline omission after being left out of a squad large enough to contain almost two full teams. Tuchel stressed it was a “sporting decision”, explaining that he is backing other right-backs after strong performances across the autumn camps, while insisting he knows exactly what Alexander-Arnold can offer and that the door is not closed.
While the senior picture makes grim reading for Liverpool, the club will still be represented in competitive action this month via the U19 squad. Will Antwi has named Trey Nyoni and Rio Ngumoha in his England under-19 squad for the UEFA U19 Euro Elite Round in Portugal, a mini‑group which doubles as a gateway to this summer’s finals in Wales.
England’s under-19s face Serbia and Poland in back-to-back 11am kick-offs at Campo da Pista Atletismo Gemos Crastro on 25 and 28 March, before a potentially decisive clash with hosts Portugal on 31 March in Estadio Amelia Morais.
Top spot secures a ticket to the u19 Euros, giving Nyoni and Ngumoha a real shot at a major international tournament and offering Liverpool fans a timely reminder that, even with no senior call-ups this month, the club’s next generation remains firmly on England’s radar
The full squad list is as follows:
Goalkeepers: Nicolas Michalski (Blackburn Rovers), Khari Ranson (Arsenal), Oliver Whatmuff (Rochdale, loan from Manchester City)
