"I never had one sleepless night about my [World Cup] selection," Tuchel says.
"It feels unfulfilled, but that's how it is."
"There's not much sense in torturing ourselves.
"I will not allow 30 minutes of this World Cup to override how we view our achievement."

England boss Thomas Tuchel on trusting Trent Alexander-Arnold at right-back: "[He needs to] Perform, that's just what it is. It is a competition and I understand the question because he was not with us at the World Cup. We trusted other players.
"I still stick with this decision and it is now time to fight for his place. He always said he is up for a fight, he always said he is up to fight for his place, especially for England so it is on him to prove and he is more than welcome in camp. We have a long camp and I am sure he will show up."

"The direction in sport is always forward, never backwards," Thomas Tuchel says, praising his squad for bouncing back in the third-place play-off after losing against Argentina in the semi-final.
There is a big focus on his players' mentality, resilience, and brotherhood in his remarks so far this morning.
England
England boss Thomas Tuchel on Trent Alexander-Arnold and Cole Palmer's inclusion: "They had a good start to the season. They never did something wrong. We just chose different players.
"So now it is a new competition, some players, some positions have more injuries, some have less injuries. But, Cole has his start that he always had but he has his numbers back, he has his assists back, he has decisive goals back so that is why he is in the squad. I think he has a point to prove and the same goes for Trent.
"He was never off the list, he was never non-selectable for us and it is his chance to show, come to camp and be the best version of himself. He had a good start in two positions for Real Madrid and he comes as a right-back for us."

Tuchel says of England's upcoming match against world champions Spain: "the gap is closing, we are close and we want to prove a point."
He also stresses that their success against France in the third-place play-off should be recognised, as he believes they have the best squad in the world at the moment.

Tuchel gives a nod to the contributions of Alex Scott, Josh King and Rio Ngumoha, who joined England in pre-tournament camp in North America.
He says that Josh King was "very close" to a place in his squad, but misses out - whereas the other two are on his list for the upcoming window.
England
Tuchel says that "100%" the door is always open for players to return to his squad after missing out.

He says they've both had good starts to their seasons and each have points to prove.

Is Jarrod Bowen's England career over? Never was given much of a chance, except for the odd substitute appearance. Had been consistently amongst top scorers/assists in the Premier League, and now maintaining that consistency in the Championship. Would have offered more at the World Cup than some did

Wharton overlooked, again, one of the most outstanding midfielders in this country. Anderson is great, but can we say - definitively - that he’s better than Wharton, who’s been given hardly any opportunity in an England shirt? It’ll be interesting to see how much control we have against Spain…
Bob, Bristol
Wharton is the best passer in midfield, not picked. Tuchel still favouring physicality over skill.
Said, Luton
Still no Wharton... he would be straight in if he played elsewhere.

Real Madrid defender Trent Alexander-Arnold returns to the England squad for the first time since June 2025.

What does Jayden Bogle need to do to get into discussions for the squad? I mean, he shredded Hall on Monday.
Ben, London
Surprised not to see Leeds United's Jayden Bogle given an opportunity to show what he could bring at right back.
Darren, Stratford-upon-Avon
I'm not sure what more Jayden Bogle needs to do to be given a chance, been brilliant this season so far and one of the most consistent performers in his position last season too.

Better than the World Cup squad in my opinion. Shame Tuchel didn't realise what Lewis Hall could offer then really.
Stephen, West Midlands
Lewis Hall was missed during the World Cup, so he’ll certainly be making a big influence. One of the best left backs in the Premier League.

No Gibbs-White is unbelievable… probably the best 10 in England at the moment on form. Versatile, passionate, created, scores… Much better choice then others he has selected…
Aaron, Sutton Coldfield
No Morgan Gibbs-White... What does he have to do to be selected?
Caroline, Leeds
Please tell me why Gibbs-White is not in the squad? A disgrace. Really, what does he have to do? Mainoo and Skelly? Why? Cos they play for Utd and Arsenal?

Of those, Madueke, Watkins, James and Spence all made the World Cup squad.

So, no Phil Foden, no Noni Madueke, and Morgan Gibbs-White also misses out, again.
Who else will feel disappointed?
Remember that Dean Henderson, Ben White, Dan Burn and Jordan Henderson are unavailable for selection through injury.
