THOMAS Tuchel says Jude Bellingham, Phil Foden and Harry Kane cannot all play together in England's current system and warned he will not dodge “tough decisions” for the World Cup.

Thomas Tuchel trains with England yesterday

Preparations for next summer's tilt at glory are stepping up having secured their spot in North America with Thursday's Wembley qualifier against Serbia and the Sunday trip to Albania to spare.

Bellingham and Foden have been recalled for November's doubleheader and Tuchel continues to provide his players with clarity, both publicly and privately, about how he sees their roles in the setup.

The England boss said the Real Madrid star returns as a number 10 and that he does not see the Manchester City man as a winger any more, rather a mix of a nine and 10 meaning he is also competing with captain Kane for a spot.
