"Tuchel stated, 'Well, it's not a guarantee that he will come.' This reflects the uncertainty surrounding Foden's inclusion in the World Cup squad despite his training performance."
"'Obviously he didn't have a lot of minutes for City recently, then he came to camp with the brightest smile and was so good in training,' Tuchel remarked, highlighting Foden's potential but also his on-field struggles."
"'I thought he will just surprise us and will play with the same verve and excitement but, yeah, he struggles to have the full impact,' Tuchel noted, emphasizing the gap between Foden's training and match performances."
Phil Foden's position in the England World Cup squad is not guaranteed, according to manager Thomas Tuchel. Foden started both games in the final camp but failed to impress in the absence of Harry Kane. Tuchel noted Foden's excellent training performance but mentioned his struggles to translate that onto the pitch. Foden has had limited playing time at Manchester City, starting only four of the last 15 games and not scoring since December. Tuchel must finalize the squad by May 30 ahead of the World Cup.
