Tuchel Drops Unexpected Bombshell on Why England Omitted White—Family Drama Revealed?

The newly expanded Club World Cup begins on 14 June and Tuchel says he decided not to give any players competing in that tournament an early cut.

He said: “We will start the camp with 26 players and finish with the same 26 as well.

“He deserves the call-up and maybe he gets his first cap.” 💪

“I was an advocate and I could see the reason for the players who go to the Club World Cup to maybe leave a little earlier, to maybe change the squad. We had discussions if maybe we chose a squad without Club World Cup players.

“The discussion was very open. Very quickly we also understood this is a very important camp for us with one year to go until the Word Cup. Why send players if we want to cherish every day we have together. What signal would it send to the group to send players away?

“I can understand the argument from especially the clubs who would love to see the players get a rest but we have a strong argument for ourselves and our goals we want to reach. We are building a group and a togetherness. We want to develop a camaraderie and it is only possible if we take every day seriously.

“We will try to manage the minutes of the players of course.”
