Thomas Tuchel explains why he left Jude Bellingham out of latest England squad:

"Jude is a very special player and for special players there can be special rules but for this camp, we thought to stick with our decision to stick with the same team.

"There is an extra layer in that he has not fully gathered rhythm and has not finished a full match until now and has only started one match. He wanted to be called up. We had a phone call but he has not finished a match as I said.

"The last camp was only three and a half weeks ago. Teamwork, team spirit were at the highest level so far. That's why we decided to invite the same group into this camp, to make more stable what we started to build.

"Are there players out there who deserve to be with us? Yes, for sure. Is there a way back into the team through performance? 100 per cent. We think this is the best and most straightforward position."
