"Thomas Tuchel will name his latest England squad on Friday and it may give him his toughest decisions yet since taking charge. The Three Lions produced their best display by some distance under his leadership when they beat Serbia 5-0 away from home in Belgrade last time out. Tuchel had said he was convinced his side were moving in the right direction and he was proven right in that impressive performance."
"The 22-year-old is a key player for England, arguably the best they have, and their chances of winning the World Cup next summer will likely be hinged on how well he plays. It could be a slightly awkward reunion for Tuchel and Bellingham for this camp, too. The England manager apologised for describing the midfielder's on-field behaviour as "repulsive", saying he used the word "unintentionally", and also spoke to the Real Madrid player at the time."
"Tuchel is a big fan of Aston Villa midfielder Morgan Rogers and has played him in a variety of positions in his four matches in charge, including a deeper midfield role, on the right wing, as a striker against Senegal and also in his favoured number 10 role. Rogers was one of the stars of the 5-0 win last month and produced a quality assist for Noni Madueke's goal."
Thomas Tuchel must name his England squad and faces tough selection decisions amid injuries and returning players. England produced a 5-0 win in Belgrade, their best display under Tuchel. Jude Bellingham missed the last camp recovering from shoulder surgery and remains a key player for England's World Cup hopes. Tuchel apologised for describing Bellingham's on-field behaviour as "repulsive" and spoke to him at the time. Tuchel has used Morgan Rogers in multiple roles and Rogers impressed in the 5-0 win with an assist. Both Bellingham and Rogers prefer the most advanced role in a three-man midfield, complicating selection.
