England national team head coach Thomas Tuchel explained why he did not call up Manchester City forward Jack Grealish to the national team.

— I love Jack, I love everything about him. I love his personality, I love his qualities. The guy is brave, he can withstand the pressure of the crowd, he is not afraid of whistles when he is on the field, it does not affect him, and if it does, it only makes him better.
Does this mean he is the player who should be in the team? Yes, 100%. But lately he just has no rhythm, and I completely agree with that. He said, “Listen, Thomas, I’m not a player that comes off the bench. It’s so hard for me to influence the course of the match from the substitutes' bench, and then sit back on the bench again, and in two weeks go out on the field again,” Tuchel said.
