00:00Hi, Thomas. You mentioned that it's the last chance to impress and fight for the ticket on the plane to
00:06the World Cup.
00:07Trent Alexander-Arnold, he's played just once under you, and with him not being in this larger squad,
00:13would it be fair to say that it's very unlikely for him to go to the World Cup?
00:18No. I know that it's a tough decision for Trent, as it is for, I guess, Oli Watkins at the
00:25moment and for Luke Shaw.
00:28These tough decisions come with a job. It is a sportive decision.
00:33It is a sportive decision that we stick with Jarrell Kwanza, with Tino Livramento, and with Chad Spence,
00:41who all can play for us in camp on the right full-back position.
00:47It is a decision for Dom Solenki and Dominic Calvert-Lewin, which I don't know as well as I know,
00:54for example, Oli Watkins.
00:55I feel I have a very clear picture of what Oli can give us.
00:59I saw him in tournaments. I saw him with us in qualifying football.
01:04So I want to have a look at two other players to get a better picture and have a clearer
01:12opinion.
01:14I know it's a tough one. I know it's a big name.
01:16I think it's a huge talent and a big career.
01:21But I feel that I know what Trent can give us and decided still to stick to the players who
01:29were in camp with us.
