Tuchel talks about Foden s defeat: he appreciates his ability and talent, but he did not show up in the league

May 24th According to talkSPORT, Tuchel talked about Foden's situation in an interview.

It is reported that the latest list of England's national team was released, and Foden was not selected due to injury and poor performance. Tuchel revealed the reasons for the decision in an interview. In the 26-man roster released on Friday, Tuchel recalled Ivan Tony, but did not choose Foden. Earlier, the Manchester City midfielder said this week that he requested not to be selected for the national team.

Fourden is understood to have spoken about his "frustrating season" on the court and dealt with some off-court issues. "Obviously, with international games coming, I'm in a difficult situation. We need to talk with the club and the national team to see if it's better to take a break and get my ankle back fully." Tuchel also explained why he didn't choose Foden, admitting that the Manchester City star's poor performance this season was a key factor. Tuchel said in an interview: "It's a little different for Foden. He has encountered difficulties since the last training camp. I like him very much in training camp, and his talent and ability are excellent. But he has not been able to show it in club games, and he has not felt freedom and excitement in training camp."

Fuden has encountered some difficulties recently. After the Manchester derby, his situation became more complicated, not only being influenced by fans on a personal level, but also being physically plagued by ankle problems. With these factors in mind, the team decided to give Foden a temporary break so that he could fully recover and prepare for the upcoming Club World Cup.

Fourden has made 44 appearances for Manchester City in various competitions this season, contributing 10 goals and 6 assists. Last season, he was named PFA Player of the Year and helped the team win its fourth consecutive league title. Previously, England national coach Tuchel had called Foden in March, and he played in both games and contributed an assist against Latvia.

Manchester City coach Guardiola also talked about Foden's plight at a press conference on Friday. He said: "It's true, Foden has said it. He grew up from the academy and is now our star player. We want to help him, he needs a break, and this will happen after Sunday, step by step. I don't care about his performance on the court, I hope he feels good, everything else will come naturally. He has been fighting an ankle injury for a while and the matter for the national team is decided by Tuchel."
