Overview

• England manager Thomas Tuchel said his team is “getting there” stylistically after a thumping win in Serbia and a 3-0 victory over Wales.
• The reported proportion of Premier League starters eligible for England has fallen to about 24.3%, down from roughly 30–33% in recent seasons.
• Tuchel described the drop as a byproduct of the league’s intensity and highlighted key England internationals thriving overseas, including Jude Bellingham, Harry Kane, Fikayo Tomori and Ruben Loftus-Cheek.
• Former manager Gareth Southgate had long warned about the shrinking home‑grown share, citing a multi‑year downward trend during his tenure.
• The Sun reported that Tuchel left Jude Bellingham, Phil Foden and Jack Grealish out of the current squad, with the manager saying the previous camp’s performers earned selection; England face Latvia on Tuesday.
