Tuchel Puts Bellingham in Direct Fight for England No. 10 as Ancelotti Backs His Professionalism

Tuchel prioritizes structure over star power.

Overview

  • England’s head coach confirmed Jude Bellingham and Morgan Rogers are competing for the central attacking role, with no formation change planned to fit both.
  • England have already qualified for the 2026 World Cup and now host Serbia before traveling to Albania in their final qualifiers this week.
  • Tuchel said Bellingham and Phil Foden have rejoined the squad after recent absences, with both only joining a full-intensity training session on Wednesday.
  • Carlo Ancelotti said he never had issues with Bellingham’s attitude at Real Madrid, describing him as professional and a serial worker.
  • Tuchel praised Elliot Anderson as a current key midfielder and said Marc Guehi could be available for the second game if his foot pain eases.
