""First of all, it's my job now to make contact with everyone," Tuchel said. "Players like Trent, players that are on our long list, 55, 60 players, to reach out to them, be in touch with them, explain to them why they were not here. Explain to them what they have to do, where they can improve. Can they even do something or is it just a choice, so this is my job in the next weeks and months.""
""Tuchel led England to a flawless qualifying campaign for FIFA's flagship tournament in the United States, Canada and Mexico, winning all eight of their Group K fixtures. They did so without conceding for just the second time, having also achieved the feat ahead of the 1990 World Cup, while the Three Lions' 2-0 win over Albania saw them put together 11 consecutive wins in competitive matches for the first time.""
Thomas Tuchel plans to contact players who were omitted from recent England squads and explain why they were not selected, what they must improve, and whether exclusion was a choice. England completed qualifying with eight wins from eight in Group K, conceding no goals and matching historical defensive feats including a second occurrence since 1990 and 11 consecutive competitive wins after beating Albania 2-0. Recent squad absentees include Trent Alexander-Arnold and Jack Grealish. Alexander-Arnold has started eight of Real Madrid's 12 games this season with one assist. Grealish leads Premier League assists in 2025-26 but has no goal contributions in his last three games.
