Czech Republic vs. England team news: Trent Alexander-Arnold decision made by Thomas Tuchel for key UEFA Nations League game

Thomas Tuchel has handed a start to Trent Alexander-Arnold for England's UEFA Nations League fixture against Czech Republic on Tuesday night.

The Real Madrid star has not started an international game in nearly two years and was left out of the Three Lions 2026 World Cup squad.

However, the 27-year-old gets his chance from the start in Prague as Tuchel makes four changes to the team that began Saturday's 3-2 defeat to Spain at Wembley Stadium.

Three of the alterations come in the back four, with Como centre-back Trevoh Chalobah and Newcastle United left-back Lewis Hall also being provided with opportunities.

Chelsea attacker Morgan Rogers also takes his place in the team as the number 10 behind Harry Kane.

Jarell Quansah, Ezri Konsa and the injured Nico O'Reilly are the trio to drop out of the backline.

Meanwhile, Jude Bellingham also misses out, with the intention seemingly being to rest the Real Madrid star unless England require him during the game.
