It was on the day he named his first England squad for the World Cup qualifiers against Albania and Latvia that Thomas Tuchel hinted that he had an eye on Jude Bellingham’s temperament.

England midfielder Jude Bellingham needs to be a bit more disciplined so that he can have the maximum impact when it counts most, manager Thomas Tuchel said.

Jude Bellingham will be a key part of Thomas Tuchel's drive to secure 2026 FIFA World Cup qualification for England. Tuchel has been drafted in with a clear brief of ending England's 60-year wait for a major trophy in the men's game following successive UEFA European Championship final losses under Gareth Southgate.
