00:00Lots of questions about former full-backs for Liverpool. Trent Alexander-Arnold returned to the England set-up for the
00:08first time since 2025, but the Real Madrid right-back was left on the bench for the Nations League clash
00:14with Spain.
00:15Instead, former Liverpool teammate Jarrell Kwanzaa started at right-back for Thomas Tuchel, with Alexander-Arnold remaining an unused substitute
00:25as England lost 3-2 at Wembley.
00:28Tuchel said Kwanzaa had impressed during the week. Here's what the manager had to say.
00:33Hi Thomas, you spoke yesterday about how it was a fight between Jarrell and Trent for the right-back spot.
00:40Can I ask you why Jarrell won that fight and got the start tonight and also why wouldn't it look
00:46like you could maybe use Trent's deliveries when you were chasing the game, trying to get the ukulele at the
00:51end, Trent stayed on the bench?
00:54Yeah, there was a lot of defending to do as well on the side. We had a lot of one
00:58-on-one defending on the middle line.
01:03So, we needed to close the gaps. Mark Gahey followed in midfield, so we ended up in a back-three.
01:10Needed for me Jarrell's speed and Jarrell's quality to think also as a central defender.
01:18But Jarrell did excellent in the week. He was excellent for us in the World Cup, so he is at
01:24the moment slightly ahead.
01:26And he didn't give his shirt away.
