Tuchel has spoken to Foden and Rashford about poor display
England manager Thomas Tuchel during the 2026 Fifa World Cup Qualifying, Group K match at Wembley Stadium, London, March 21, 2025

THOMAS TUCHEL has spoken to Phil Foden and Marcus Rashford about their ineffective displays in his first match as England boss, but stressed the pair retain his full belief.

Sir Gareth Southgate’s successor began his reign with a 2-0 victory against Albania at a sold-out Wembley, where Myles Lewis-Skelly scored on his debut before captain Harry Kane extended his record haul to 70 goals.

It was a winning start to World Cup qualification but Tuchel still wanted more, including hoping Foden and Rashford would be more “impactful” on the flanks.
