England boss Thomas Tuchel has broken his silence on why a key Liverpool player was left out of the latest squad.
“It’s not personal,” Tuchel said. “But there are certain things he does on the pitch that I can’t ignore. At international level, the smallest details decide everything — and he hasn’t convinced me yet.”
Despite the player’s excellent form for Liverpool, Tuchel is reportedly concerned about his positioning and decision-making under pressure. The call has split fans — Reds supporters call it unfair, while others back Tuchel’s ruthless standards.
With major fixtures looming, many are asking: will Tuchel’s gamble pay off, or come back to haunt him?
