England national team head coach Thomas Tuchel is expected to make significant changes to the squad as part of preparations for the 2026 World Cup. The German specialist faces difficult choices due to competition in the attacking and midfield lines. Goal.com reports on this.
In particular, the future of "Man City" star Phil Foden in the national team remains under question. During recent training camps, the player failed to demonstrate the performance expected of him and could not fully justify the coaching staff's confidence.
In the last two friendly matches, Foden served as a playmaker against Uruguay and as a "false nine" against Japan. However, the 25-year-old player is struggling to show effectiveness in the national team due to problems at his club.
Thomas Tuchel addressed the player's situation in an interview with ESPN. "He gave his all in training, but he is struggling to achieve full effectiveness on the field.
This may be due to the limited playing time he is receiving at his club," the coach said.
The specialist emphasized that the situation in March does not determine the final fate of the national team. Tuchel added that players must finish the season well at their clubs and be ready to achieve their World Cup dream.
