Tuchel praises Alexander-Arnold for ‘decisive’ display on England return

England manager Thomas Tuchel praised Trent Alexander-Arnold after the right-back delivered a decisive display in a 2-0 Nations League victory against Czechia. Making his first international appearance since June 2025, Alexander-Arnold set up the opening goal for Anthony Gordon early in the second half following a red card for Czechia's Pavel Sulc.

Tuchel highlighted Alexander-Arnold's composure on the ball and crossing ability, noting that a deeper second-half role suited him well. Harry Kane added a late second goal to secure the win, moving England to second in Group A3 ahead of their upcoming match against Croatia.
