Regionalliga Qualification Overview

Former England defender Kyle Walker has admitted his shock after Thomas Tuchel omitted Phil Foden, Harry Maguire and Trent Alexander-Arnold from his World Cup squad. The trio were the headline casualties of Friday's 26-man selection for the tournament in North America, with Walker left questioning several of the manager's major tactical decisions.

Thomas Tuchel has been warned that failing to secure World Cup glory should result in his immediate dismissal following a series of controversial squad selections. Former Premier League striker Troy Deeney has heavily criticised the German tactician for leaving out established superstars in favour of a group he describes as a "B-team."
