A coach excludes his son-in-law from the 2022 World Cup list. The player is a professional in the Qatari league

Australia coach Graham Arnold has decided to exclude Trent Sainsbury from the final squad for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

Here the news seems normal, the selection of players and the exclusion of others is the responsibility of the coach of any team, and no one has the right to interfere in his decisions.

A coach excludes his son-in-law from the 2022 World Cup

But the talksport website confirmed that Sainsbury, who has been the defender of the Qatari team Al Wakrah since August 2, 2022, is coach Arnold's son-in-law (husband of his daughter).

"TalkSport" indicated that Sainsbury has been married to Arnold's daughter since 2017, with whom he has two children.

This decision was the focus of the press conference held by Arnold (59 years), immediately after the announcement of the final list of "kangaroo", in which he admitted that it was a very difficult decision.

"I had a chat with Trent about his current situation," Arnold said. "He hasn't played for weeks. In fact, it was a tough decision."

He added: "Trent was understanding, but I say again that it is a difficult decision to make again, and in general, I chose players such as Harry Sutter and K Rolls, who have done well recently, and continue to do so."

Trent Sainsbury defended the colors of the Australian national team in 60 matches, during which he scored 4 goals, and was one of the elements of the "kangaroo" participating in the World Cup Russia 2018.

And it was Garang Cole, the incoming striker for Newcastle United, who was Arnold's "pleasant" surprise in the final 26-man squad.

Cole, 18, is scheduled to join the English Premier League club in the next winter transfer window, January 2023.

The World Cup draw, which was drawn in Doha on April 1, 2022, placed Australia in Group D.
