Overview
- England manager Thomas Tuchel said there is “no guarantee” Phil Foden will make the 2026 World Cup squad.
- Tuchel praised Foden’s level in training and said it has not shown up in matches.
- In March friendlies, Foden started against Uruguay and Japan, was taken off near the hour mark, and struggled to make an impact.
- Tuchel also noted Foden’s reduced minutes at Manchester City since mid-January after a strong scoring burst in late November and December.
- Heavy competition from Jude Bellingham, Cole Palmer and Morgan Rogers plus a final roster due in about two months leave Foden under pressure.
