Tuchel Rules Out Fielding Kane, Bellingham and Foden Together for England

Overview

• Tuchel said his current setup with a No.6, No.8, No.10 and No.9, plus specialist wingers, does not allow Harry Kane, Jude Bellingham and Phil Foden to play together.
• He named a crowded pool of No.10s — including Bellingham, Foden, Cole Palmer, Morgan Rogers and Morgan Gibbs-White — and warned he cannot take them all to the World Cup.
• Bellingham and Foden have been recalled after missing October, with both competing for the central creative role in Tuchel’s preferred structure.
• Tuchel ruled out using Foden wide and said Foden or Bellingham could cover up front if required, with Kane currently the only out-and-out centre-forward in the squad.
• He said he is ready to make tough selection calls based on form, fitness and team balance, while reporting suggests he is likely to take a small group of specialist strikers with Kane virtually certain to be included.
