  "account": "Thomas Tuchel has challenged Cole Palmer and Trent Alexander-Arnold to \"prove themselves\" after both earned recalls to the England national team. Palmer, who has been impressive in his start to the season with Chelsea, and Alexander-Arnold, who returned to the squad following his absence from the World Cup, will now have to fight for their place in the England setup. Tuchel made it clear that the duo will be considered for right-back roles and must perform to earn their trust. Tuchel stated that neither player had done anything wrong, as other players were simply chosen over them. Both players have a strong start to the season, with Palmer showcasing his assist and goal-scoring abilities, and Alexander-Arnold excelling in two different positions for Real Madrid. Tuchel believes that both players have a chance to make their case during the upcoming camp and hopes they will show up as their best versions.",
