Tuchel explains recalls
Thomas Tuchel on Friday addressed his selection decisions for England, confirming the recalls of Trent Alexander-Arnold and Cole Palmer. The Chelsea manager provided his assessment of the pair ahead of the upcoming internationals, alongside the inclusion of Alex Scott and Rio Ngumoha in the squad.
Notable omission
One of the more striking developments was the absence of Manchester City forward Phil Foden, who did not make the squad. The selection choices mark a notable reshuffle and have prompted discussion among supporters and pundits about the squad’s balance and tactical options.
