Tuchel expressed his delight at Bellingham and Foden's return, highlighting their contributions to their teams' goals. He sees Bellingham as a key player in the number 10 position, where he can score goals that a traditional number 9 would typically score.

Tuchel also discussed Foden's role, stating that he is strongest when playing near the opponent's box, often as a mix between a 9 and a 10. He believes Foden's abilities make him a valuable asset in the center of the pitch, rather than on the wing.

However, while Bellingham and Foden return to the team, other players such as Morgan Gibbs-White, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, and Myles Lewis-Skelly have not been selected. Brighton striker Danny Welbeck also misses out on a call-up.
