England: Paul Robinson Picks Pickford Over Trafford as Number One

Former England goalkeeper Paul Robinson has weighed in on the ongoing selection debate between Jordan Pickford and James Trafford. England manager Thomas Tuchel opted to start Leeds United goalkeeper Trafford over Everton's Pickford in England's recent Nations League match against Spain. Pickford has served as England's primary goalkeeper for several years, including under Tuchel at the most recent World Cup.

Trafford, who is 23 years old, is viewed as a contender for the position as Tuchel looks toward Euro 2028, when Pickford will turn 34. While Pickford possesses extensive tournament experience for his country, Trafford continues to gain consideration despite having limited senior international appearances.
