Tuchel has warned his England stars - and those not picked - the competition is on for next summer's World Cup squad
THOMAS TUCHEL has warned the “competition is on” for places in England's World Cup squad.
Tuchel insisted he is not even thinking about having to leave out big names like Jude Bellingham, Phil Foden, Jack Grealish and Cole Palmer.
That is because his only focus is on the players who put five past Serbia and scored three against Wales performances which have turned up the heat ahead of next summer.
It is clearly going to be a long road back because the likes of Morgan Rogers and Elliot Anderson (right) have seized their opportunity.
When asked what he hoped the big names who were not picked made of England's win against Wales, Tuchel said: “At the moment, it is only about the players who are in camp. The door is always open for anyone to jump in. The competition is on.”
