"Daily Mail" reported that England coach Tuchel will use this international match day to inspect Manchester City player Foden.

Foden has not been selected for the England team several times before, but Tuchel is satisfied with Foden's recent performance, which is why Foden's every move in London and this weekend's game against Albania will be highly watched, especially when the competition for his position is so fierce. It should be noted that Foden's position in the England team is not on the wing, and Tuchel has a clear attitude towards this. Instead, Foden is a No. 10 or, in Kane's absence, a false nine.

Therefore, to join England's starting lineup, Foden must perform better than Morgan Rogers and Bellingham; to retain his place in the team, he must outperform Eze, Gibbs-White, and Palmer after recovering from injury.

Just last year, it seemed impossible for Foden to miss the World Cup. At that time, the England team first selected the best players and then formulated a tactical system. Tuchel is different. He will choose the lineup that best suits the team, regardless of whether it includes star players such as Foden, Bellingham, and Palmer. Creating this kind of atmosphere where "everyone has a sense of crisis and everyone has motivation" is his greatest achievement in the 10 months of coaching.

Foden made his debut for England 5 years ago and has played a total of 45 times, but his performance at this level has not improved but retreated. Tuchel knows that Foden's statistics are mediocre, but what worries him more than the statistics is the bright smile that Foden lacks on his face. According to Tuchel, Foden had the "pure childlike joy" required to play football but this joy disappeared while playing for England. Tuchel hopes to find out the crux of the problem this week: whether it is a problem with the team's atmosphere and environment, or a technical reason such as positioning and tactical instructions. Tuchel believes that playing Foden through the middle will clarify his responsibilities.

In England's strongest lineup, if Kane plays, the starting No. 10 position will be between Foden and Bellingham, rather than both appearing at the same time; if Morgan Rogers can keep his current main position, both of them may not be able to start. Foden must prove during the training camp that he is an engaged teammate with a good mentality.
