Tuchel States No Problem with Jude Bellingham, Phil Foden, or Grealish

England's Head Coach Thomas Tuchel asserted that he holds "no problem" with Phil Foden following these players did not make the England team for upcoming matches against Wales and Latvia.

Bellingham has not been recalled even after recovering from a shoulder issue, whereas Foden and Grealish are also absent despite showing improved form with their clubs.

Tuchel mentioned that Bellingham wanted to be part of the selection, after a conversation with him via telephone.

"Bellingham is a unique talent, and for exceptional talents there can always be exceptions," Tuchel remarked about the Real Madrid star, who has only started once since coming back to full health.

"However we decided to maintain the simple choice of calling up the identical squad.

"Jude always deserves to be here. There is also the situation that he has not fully found his optimal form yet at Real Madrid - he has not finished a full match.

"He expressed a desire to be called up. We conducted a telephone conversation."

Tuchel was keen to emphasize his good rapport with the midfielder following he said sorry to him previously for describing his on-pitch behavior as "repulsive" in a live interview.

The German explained that he used the words "unintentionally" and promised to be more careful in future.

When asked if he had a problem with Bellingham, he said: "None. There is also no problem with Foden or Grealish.

"Phil is returning to influencing and shaping games for Manchester City. Grealish is almost to being back to the best version of himself.

"There is no personal issue."

Bukayo Saka replacing the hurt Madueke is the only change to last month's squad, with Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Quansah retaining their places after joining as late additions last month due to injury.

The Three Lions face the Welsh team in a non-competitive match at Wembley on Thursday before a World Cup qualifier in the Latvian capital on October 14.

Should the team triumph in the away fixture, they will require a up to two more points from their remaining two qualifiers - against Albania and Serbia in November - to secure a place in next summer's World Cup in Canada, Mexico, and the United States.

Impressive Display Under the Manager

England produced their finest performance significantly under the manager's guidance when they defeated the Serbian team 5-0 away in the Serbian capital in their previous match.

The coach says that showing meant it an easy decision to stick with mostly the identical group, though "there are absolutely no guarantees" for every squad member regarding selection.

"The last camp was just a few weeks ago and the cohesion and spirit was on the highest level. That is the reason we decided to call up the identical players to this camp," he said.

"Phil is in a very good moment. Adam Wharton merits to be with us. Curtis Jones and Trevoh Chalobah are getting playing time with their clubs.

"We have players who warrant to be here. Palmer is unfit and is a key talent. It will always be the case.

"Are we a stronger side with Jude? Yes. But I told you before, what do we do if Jude is unavailable before the tournament? Do we just cancel?"

The Manager's Media Briefing Draws Attention

The England manager again delivered a headline-grabbing news conference.

He, a master of handling his interactions with the press, began with an opening statement to explain his thinking for his decisions.

The midfielder is ready to play and wanted to join to the squad, but Tuchel explained he did not want to change the squad significantly after a impressive five-goal win over Serbia - where the boss noted team spirit was extremely strong.

But with him not including the star, and his repeated comments about togetherness, it is difficult to avoid link the two - even though he said multiple times how Bellingham is "exceptional" and that there is "no issue" between Tuchel and one of England's star players.

Tuchel has always made it evident that he wanted to make the England squad feel like a club side and, by keeping the identical selection after a statement win, he has achieved that. But the questions will arise once more in the following session if the team perform strongly in these next two matches.
