Arnold Pays the Price of Real Madrids Bench

Khaberni -  English star Trent Alexander Arnold faces the risk of missing the upcoming World Cup finals as his role with his current club Real Madrid diminishes.

The newspaper indicated that the player's absence from regular participation at "Santiago Bernabeu" has made his place in the "Three Lions" squad highly doubtful, as technical voices have begun to call for his exclusion in favor of more ready names.

In this context, former Arsenal legend, Viv Anderson, launched a scathing attack on Arnold in statements to the "Goal" website, affirming that he would not choose him for the World Cup squad due to his "strange season" and inconsistent appearances with the "Royal" team.

Anderson believes that options like Reece James and Tino Livramento are currently surpassing Arnold, thanks to their maturity and physical and technical development.

These pressures come less than four months before the start of the global event, at a time when England has not yet finalized its squad, putting Arnold under significant pressure to regain his main position in Madrid before it's too late.
