Tuchel says he’ll be ‘brave’ enough to omit big names if it’s right for England

Thomas Tuchel, the head coach of the England national team, has stated that he will be "brave enough" to omit star players from the starting XI if he believes it is in the best interest of the team. Tuchel's comments come after England's 5-0 victory over Serbia in a World Cup qualifying match, during which he was impressed by the performance of Morgan Rogers in the No. 10 role. Tuchel believes that the competition for places in the England squad has increased, particularly in the attacking midfield position, with the likes of Jude Bellingham, Cole Palmer, and Phil Foden still to return. The head coach is willing to make tough decisions and exclude big names if he feels it will result in a better-balanced team. The article also mentions that Roy Keane, who was covering the game for ITV, compared Rogers' performance to that of Paul Gascoigne, praising the "X factor" the Aston Villa player brings to the team.
