'Foden should have a central role' - Tuchel

- Published
England boss Thomas Tuchel says he does not see Phil Foden as a winger and that he will play a central role for the Three Lions.
The Manchester City forward has earned an England recall for their World Cup qualifiers against Serbia (13 November) and Albania (16 November).
"Where he played lately [against] Dortmund was where I see him the strongest. Close to the opponent's box, maybe as a mix between a nine and a 10," Tuchel said.
"For me, Phil scores and assists more from the 18-yard box where he scored against Dortmund. He's in the pockets and he assists.
"The main thing with Phil is that he gets a role in the central part of the pitch. I don't see him as a winger at the moment and maybe not any more.
"He should have a central role. I think that brings out his strengths the most. We've talked about this already with him."
