Tuchel said Foden played “with responsibility” but could have been braver at Wembley. “We were aware of their midfield three changing position a lot and moving freely and wanting to drag you out of position. We needed a very solid and smart tactical performance,” Tuchel said.
“That’s when Phil came into play as he was outstanding in defensive patterns in training, he has played No8 for Manchester City many times. In moments I thought he could be a bit more adventurous, taking a risk like a No10, trying some stuff.”
Tuchel said it was a “brutal tackle” on Foden from Araujo while the Arsenal winger Noni Madueke will also have to be assessed after leaving Wembley in a leg brace as a result of an injury he suffered in the 38th minute. Tuchel said fitness concerns meant it was “too early” to make decisions about which players will leave the squad before England’s next friendly against Japan on Tuesday.
