“He tried everything,” Tuchel said when asked whether Foden had taken his chance to force his way into his plans. “I would say he was excellent in camp but, yeah, he struggles to show it on the pitch.”
“Obviously, he didn’t have a lot of minutes for City recently. Then he came to camp with the brightest smile and was so good in training and I thought he would just surprise us and play with the same verve and excitement but, yeah, he struggles to have the full impact.”
Tuchel considers Morgan Rogers and Jude Bellingham in competition for the No10 position, while Harry Kane, the England captain and Bayern Munich forward, is the first-choice striker. The England manager touted the idea of Foden being potential cover for Kane on a few occasions, but Foden’s case appears weakened by his performance against Japan.
Asked if he would consider taking a player to the World Cup who was struggling to perform, Tuchel said: “I can. The question would be if we will.”
When subsequently questioned whether this would make Foden a doubt to travel this summer, Tuchel said: “Well, it’s not a guarantee that he would come.”
