England coach Thomas Tuchel has expressed uncertainty regarding Phil Foden's spot in the World Cup squad. The Manchester City player participated in England's recent friendlies as the team prepared for Tuchel's final squad selections.
Despite starting both games, including a 1-1 draw with Uruguay and a 1-0 defeat to Japan, Foden's on-field performances haven't secured his place. Tuchel praised Foden's abilities in camp but noted his difficulty translating that into match performance.
Other players like Cole Palmer failed to make a significant impact, leaving options such as Morgan Rogers and Jude Bellingham to compete for midfield positions. Foden and Palmer now face anxious waits to see who will be chosen for the tournament.
