Jude Bellingham, Phil Foden, and Jack Grealish were left out of Thomas Tuchel’s England squad for the games against Wales and Latvia that will be played next week, according to Tuchel, who claims he has “no problem” with them.

Despite returning from a shoulder injury, Bellingham was unable to receive a recall, and Foden and Grealish were also absent, despite returning to form with Manchester City and Everton, respectively.

After speaking with Bellingham on the phone, England manager Tuchel stated that Bellingham had wanted to be included in the squad.

Bellingham, who has only started one game for Real Madrid since returning from injury, has said, “He is a special player, and there can always be special rules for special players.”

“But we made the simple choice to invite the same group,” he continued.

Jude “always deserves to be here,” he says. Additionally, he has not yet found his true rhythm at Real Madrid, having not yet played the full 90 minutes.

After being forced to apologize to the midfielder earlier this year for calling his behavior on the pitch “repulsive” during a live interview, Tuchel was keen to stress his positive relationship with Bellingham.

The German claimed that he intended to use the phrase “unintentionally” and that he would be more cautious in the future.

When asked if Bellingham was his source of conflict, Tuchel replied, “No. Phil Foden and Jack Grealish are both fine, too.

Phil has returned to Manchester City influencing and deciding games. Jack is on par with being back to his best self.

There are no personal issues, they say.

Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Jarell Quansah were late additions last month due to injury, but Bukayo Saka’s substitution for Noni Madueke is the only change to the previous month’s squad.

Before a World Cup qualifier in Riga on October 14, the Three Lions take on Wales in a friendly at Wembley on Thursday.

Under Tuchel’s leadership, the Three Lions defeated Serbia 5-0 away from home last time out in Belgrade, which was their best effort by a margin of 0.

Tuchel claims that because of performance, choosing to remain with essentially the same squad was an easy choice. However, “there are absolutely no guarantees” for any player regarding selection.

The teamwork and spirit at the camp’s conclusion were “absolutely outstanding.” The camp was only three and a half weeks prior. That’s why we decided to bring the same group to this camp, he said.

Foster has a fantastic moment. Adam Wharton deserves to join us. Trevoh Chalobah and Curtis Jones are playing for their clubs.

Players “get it,” they should be here. A special player, Cole Palmer is recovering from an injury. This will continue to be the case.

“Tuchel box office news conference”

Box office news conference was once more held by Thomas Tuchel.

Tuchel, a master at controlling his media relations, made his opening statement a model for what he thought would be used in decisions.

After declaring victory over Serbia with a 5-0 win, the manager claimed that team spirit was at an all-time high, Bellingham is physically fit and available and wants to attend camp.

It’s difficult not to connect the two, despite Tuchel’s repeated comments about team spirit and his decision to not pick Bellingham, despite Tuchel’s repeated claims that Bellingham is “special” and that there is “no problem” between him and one of England’s star players.
