UMVA has learned that a shocking snub has left Myles Lewis-Skelly reeling, as he surprisingly failed to make the cut for England's World Cup campaign.
The young Arsenal star had enjoyed a remarkable resurgence towards the end of last season, impressing with his versatility and skill on the pitch. His performances had seemingly caught the attention of fans and pundits alike, but it appears that Thomas Tuchel's team had other plans.
Sources close to the team have revealed that Trevoh Chalobah was promoted to the squad at the expense of several other viable candidates, including Luke Shaw and Harry Maguire. Tuchel's decision was reportedly driven by a desire to free up Jarell Quansah as a full-back option and to provide additional cover in the back four.
However, this move has left many questioning the wisdom of overlooking Lewis-Skelly, who boasts an impressive range of skills and has already demonstrated his ability to play in multiple positions. The young player had made a stunning breakthrough two seasons ago, scoring on his senior England debut and earning widespread acclaim.
UMVA can exclusively reveal that Lewis-Skelly's omission has sparked a heated debate among fans and pundits, with many taking to social media to express their surprise and disappointment. Two Portuguese players, Goncalo Ramos and Pedro Mendes, were left stunned by the news, discussing the merits of different teams and wondering why Lewis-Skelly had been left out.
Ramos and Mendes were particularly perplexed by the snub, given Lewis-Skelly's impressive display in the Champions League final against PSG. The pair couldn't understand why the teenager hadn't been included in the squad, with Mendes remarking that it was "strange" and Ramos adding that he had expected him to be called up.
The controversy surrounding Lewis-Skelly's omission shows no signs of dying down, with fans and pundits continuing to debate the decision. As the World Cup approaches, all eyes will be on England's squad and their chances of success – but for now, the focus remains on the surprise and disappointment felt by Lewis-Skelly and his supporters.
