US EditionTuchel Says Foden Cannot Be Sure of a Place in England World Cup Squad
Tuchel said Foden must improve after the midfielder failed to stand out in two auditions and faces stiff competition for England’s No. 10 role.
- On Tuesday, England manager Thomas Tuchel said Phil Foden is not guaranteed a spot in the World Cup squad after the 25-year-old had little influence in England's 1-0 loss to Japan at Wembley.
- Foden's chances have narrowed following a challenging season at Manchester City, where he has started only twice in the Premier League since mid-January and struggled for consistent minutes.
- During the recent international window, the 25-year-old Foden played as a No. 10 and a false nine in experimental lineups, though he was substituted after 58 minutes against Japan.
- Responding to questions about the forward, Tuchel stated it is "not a guarantee that he will come," acknowledging Foden was "excellent in camp" but "struggles to show it on the pitch."
- England will convene in Florida this June to prepare for the tournament, with Tuchel expected to name his 26-man squad soon for the upcoming trip to North America.
