Michael Owen has raised doubts over England’s ability to go all the way at the 2026 World Cup under Thomas Tuchel, warning that age, declining form, and testing conditions could hinder their chances. The former Liverpool striker expressed concern that several key players, including Harry Kane, may be past their best by next summer, while questioning whether the squad is improving.

Wales boss Craig Bellamy has admitted that the Dragons face a huge challenge when they take on England at Wembley, comparing the matchup to an unfair boxing fight. The former Premier League star hailed Thomas Tuchel’s “ridiculous” squad depth and insisted his side must be at “full gas” to compete against their star-studded neighbours in Thursday’s friendly.

Adam Wharton revealed Thomas Tuchel's explanation for his latest England snub as the Crystal Palace star was left out of the upcoming Wales and Latvia clashes.

Jack Grealish has been backed for an England recall by Michael Owen following his flying start to life on loan at Everton.

Chelsea’s defensive injury crisis continues to deepen, with Reece James being forced to withdraw from the latest England squad. The Blues captain had been called upon by former Stamford Bridge boss Thomas Tuchel for upcoming clashes with Wales and Latvia. James will play no part in those fixtures after picking up a knock, with his place in the Three Lions’ ranks going to Manchester City full-back Nico O’Reilly.

GOAL runs the rule over the British players earning a living away from their homeland, with plenty more stars deciding to leave the comforts of the United Kingdom in search of a better footballing life elsewhere.

Arsenal star Bukayo Saka is desperate to impress Thomas Tuchel as he earned his England call-up ahead of the upcoming international matches. Tuchel announced his 24-member Three Lions roster on Friday as he left out several top players, including Real Madrid's Jude Bellingham, Manchester City's Phil Foden and City loanee Jack Grealish, who has regained his form after joining Everton on loan.

Jack Grealish revealed that he got a call from England manager Thomas Tuchel after failing to make his 24-member Three Lions squad for the upcoming international games against Wales and Latvia. Grealish moved to Everton from Manchester City on loan this summer and has got off to a bright start under David Moyes and also won the Player of the Month award for August.

Jude Bellingham had asked to be left out of the England squad ahead of their upcoming international matches. Thomas Tuchel announced his 24-member Three Lions squad for the World Cup qualifiers on Friday but left out star midfielder Bellingham, who had come back early from his shoulder injury and featured for Real Madrid in their last couple of games.

Manchester City head coach Pep Guardiola believes Phil Foden is "the best player we have in small spaces by far" while explaining how big a boost the Englishman's return to form is for his team. The 25-year-old has been deployed in a new-look No.10 role, which sees him operate closer to the box, and the change in how his position has provided highly positive results immediately.

Jack Grealish has received partying advice from former England international Glen Johnson, with the Everton loanee being told to "do it more undercover" after attracting some unwelcome attention for letting his hair down "at the wrong times". Grealish is in the process of rediscovering a lost spark on the field, although his form on Merseyside has not been enough to earn a recall with the Three Lions.
