He has been struggling with one, but yeah, a great shame for young Tino.
But he'll be back at another tournament, you would certainly hope so.
And he's been replaced by Trevor Shallum.
yeah he has which is an interesting one isn't it because he's Travis Chalabar is not a fullback so it's interesting that well I think the way that they like to build up you know we're expecting this sort of Tuchel in the build up I know there's all these phases of play and so on but England to kind of adopt a sort of de facto sort of back three yeah if you see what I mean it could be Anderson dropping in there
But if it is a case of actually he wants one of his fullbacks to stay, you know, Chalabar can do that.
I think Chalabar will be low down the pecking order, hence he wasn't in the original squad.
But he's a player that Tuchel knows, and he's also tall.
He knows him, he's tall, and with Thomas Tuchel, that's two of the big three things that he clearly wants in his England players.
The only thing I would say, yeah, with Tuchel is this plan we're talking about and what he wants out of his fullbacks.
I think Spence can provide that.
Better at right back, but, you know, obviously knows how to play the other side as well and is pretty comfortable with that.
It's just a case that England really now have three fullbacks in the whole squad.
I know Dan Byrne can go there.
I know Esri Konca can go there.
But from what he's going to demand from his fullbacks...
they are not the specialists that he talks about.
Now, perhaps he thought, he clearly doesn't want Alexander-Arnold in the squad.
People can talk about that.
But as I say, look, the squad is the squad and that's that.
You know, no point in going over old ground on the day England are going to kick off their World Cup campaign.
