Trent Alexander-Arnold's latest England appearance came against Andorra in a World Cup qualifier in June last year
Former England captain Wayne Rooney says it is "mind-boggling" that Trent Alexander-Arnold was not included in Thomas Tuchel's final squad before the head coach makes his World Cup selection.
Alexander-Arnold has featured regularly for Real Madrid since recovering from a thigh problem in January but was overlooked for England's friendlies against Uruguay and Japan in March, despite Chelsea right-back Reece James being absent through injury.
Arsenal full-back Ben White started both those games, scoring England's opener in the 1-1 draw with Uruguay.
"No disrespect to Ben White – I think he's a fantastic player – but for him to be in the squad and playing ahead of Trent is mind-boggling," Rooney said on the Wayne Rooney Podcast.
