Tuchel tells star players that there is no guarantee of a place in the squad

England coach Thomas Tuchel has said after beating Serbia 5-0 in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers that big names do not guarantee a place in the squad.

According to Idman.biz, the German expert stressed the importance of competition and noted that they are ready to test the chances of young talents.

"I have always been brave, you know that. We have already made some bold decisions. We just created a team of 21 players to keep the competition going. There is competition for places - if you are in the camp, it means you are doing very well, you are in the best shape and you are trying to make the most of it. If you are in the camp, it is already a privilege...

If a high-level player misses the tournament, we have to find solutions. We must pay attention to those who are ready and ready to be the best version of themselves and their teammates. This is a team sport, and the game against Serbia was purely teamwork," Tuchel told The Guardian.

The performance of Aston Villa player Morgan Rogers, who distinguished himself in Belgrade, was an example of the head coach's desire to trust new players. According to Tuchel, players such as Rogers, Noni Madueke and Adam Wharton can compete with the stars, bringing freshness and dynamism to the national team on the way to the 2026 World Cup.
