Officials said the England coach is considering various options.

Meanwhile, Bukayo Saka is managing an injury, which may impact his starting position.

Sources confirmed that Tuchel has warned his players that not all of them will start every game.

Competition for Starting Spots

The competition for starting spots in the England team is fierce, with Tuchel having 14 or 15 players who could be considered for the line-up.

Experts said this level of competition will bring out the best in the players.

Tuchel mentioned Bellingham, Rogers, and Phil Foden as options at number 10, as well as Chelsea's Cole Palmer and Nottingham Forest's Morgan Gibbs-White.

However, Palmer is currently injured, and Gibbs-White was left out of the latest squad.

Saka's Injury Concerns

Bukayo Saka is playing through the pain barrier, according to Tuchel, as the World Cup looms.

Witnesses said Saka's injury may not be serious, but it is a concern for the England coach.

Tuchel emphasized that the tournament is long, and the players he picks for the first game may not be the same as those he picks for subsequent games.

Despite this, Saka is still expected to play a crucial role in the team.

Tuchel's Tactical Clarity

Government sources said Tuchel's experience will be vital in guiding the team through the tournament.

However, Tuchel's decision to play Bellingham at number 10 has been questioned by some experts, who believe that Rogers may be a better option.

In contrast, others believe that Bellingham's creativity and vision make him the ideal candidate for the role.

Human Impact of Tuchel's Decisions

The human impact of Tuchel's decisions should not be underestimated, with players' emotions and morale potentially affected by his choices.

Sources confirmed that Tuchel is aware of the potential impact of his decisions and is taking a thoughtful approach to team selection.

Meanwhile, the England players are focused on preparing for the World Cup, with the team's spirit and camaraderie expected to play a crucial role in their success.

Despite the challenges ahead, the team is confident and ready to take on the world's best teams.
