Big names are not guaranteed a place, warns England boss Tuchel, who says Bellingham is in competition with Rogers for No.10 shirt
""I don't know. I guess so but not both in the same position obviously. Rather than finding a position for the best players to have them on the field, it is maybe better to put everyone in their best position and have competition. "At the moment the competition is between the two of them. They are friends so it is a friendly competition. They don't have to be enemies and hate each other. They are respectful and they fight for the same position. "Can they play together? Yes, but in a different structure and now is not the moment to change the structure.""

""At the moment he is a key player for us and at the moment he is one of the best midfielders in the Premier League. That's why he is with us and why he starts for us, because he deserves it"
Jude Bellingham and Morgan Rogers are competing for England's number 10 role. England's approach prioritises a fixed structure and placing players into their best positions rather than adapting the formation to fit star players. Morgan Rogers has recently occupied the central attacking role and performed well, while Jude Bellingham has been recalled to provide direct competition. The rivalry between the two is described as friendly and respectful as they fight for the same position. Both could play together only within a different tactical structure, but the current plan is not to change that structure now. Elliot Anderson is identified as a key player and one of the best midfielders in the Premier League, earning a starting place ahead of the World Cup qualifier against Serbia at Wembley.
