Resolution criteria

This market resolves to YES if Trent Alexander-Arnold is named in England's starting XI for their UEFA Nations League match against Spain on Saturday, 26 September 2026.

This market resolves to NO if he is named as a substitute, is not included in the matchday squad, or does not start the match for any other reason.

• Lineup Changes: If he is named in the initial starting lineup but is replaced prior to the official kickoff (e.g., due to an injury during warm-ups), this will resolve to NO.

• Postponements: If the match is postponed, rescheduled, or suspended before kickoff, the market will remain open and resolve based on the rescheduled match, provided it is played on or before 31 October 2026. If the match is not played by this date, the market will resolve to N/A.

• Source of Truth: Official starting lineups as published by the UEFA Nations League Match Centre or the official England Football team channels.

Background

Trent Alexander-Arnold has been recalled to the England squad by manager Thomas Tuchel for the start of the 2026–27 UEFA Nations League campaign. After being left out of the squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, where England finished third, the Real Madrid defender is back in contention.

With Kyle Walker and Kieran Trippier retired from international football, and alternative options such as Tino Livramento and Reece James sidelined with injuries, Alexander-Arnold is currently the only natural right-back in England's active squad. The Matchday 1 fixture against world champions Spain at Wembley Stadium represents his first major opportunity to solidify his starting spot in this international cycle.
