England boss Tuchel on if there are any problems between him and Bellingham: "No. There is also no problem with Phil Foden or Jack Grealish either.
"Phil is back influencing and deciding games for Manchester City. Jack is very close to being back to the best version of himself.
"There is no personal problem."

"But we decided to keep with the straightforward decision of inviting the same group.
"Jude always deserves to be here. There is also the situation that he is not quite gathered his full rhythm again at Real Madrid - he has not finished a full match.
"He wanted to be called up. We had a phone call."
England
Tuchel says "there are absolutely no guarantees" for any player when it comes to selection.

"There are players out who deserve to be with us and they can get back in through performance. This is the best and most straightforward decision."

"The question is also why not to pick the same players? Why not if they are not injured," says Tuchel.

Tuchel is asked why Myles Lewis-Skelly is selected despite his limited minutes with Arsenal. He says going forward "just being a good citizen in the camp won't be enough".
He adds, "he was part of a very good camp [last time] so he gets the credit for that".

"These were not awkward conversations [with players]. They were straightforward conversations," adds Tuchel.

Players not in the squad "just need to keep pushing" adds Tuchel.
He reiterates that the last camp "was the best camp so far" so "we invited the same players to build on that".
"There are some players who deserve to be with us, but for this camp we wanted to make it a straightforward decision and stay with the same group."
England
He confirms there is no problem between him and Bellingham.
"There is also no problem between me and Jack Grealish and me and Phil Foden," he says.
England
Tuchel says "Bellingham always deserves to be in the camp" but "he has not fully gathered his rhythm at Real Madrid" and has only started one match so is not back to full strength.
He adds he had a phone call with Bellingham who "wanted to be called up".
England
Tuchel says team spirit in the last camp was at an all-time high and that's why he has made minimal chances.
He says there's a way back for players not in the squad, "100%".
But at the moment "this is the best and most straightforward decision".

Elliot Anderson excelled in the 5-0 win over Serbia and that meant Declan Rice could play further forward. He was probably the most impressive performer after only first coming into the squad in September.
He looked so calm and mature. It looks like that is his position which is harsh on Adam Wharton, who pulled out of the last squad.
Just to reply to Stephen who said friendlies are for experimenting .There is no time for experimenting. Tuchel has little time to bring the squad together before the World Cup and wants to build on the last 5-0 good performance - not much room for change at this late stage

Wharton has played five of Palace's six league matches this campaign but missed their game with Sunderland with a groin injury three weeks ago.
Why is Jordan Henderson in the squad instead of Adam Wharton? Wharton is by far a much better player. He is consistently a forward looking player whereas Henderson plays backwards and sideways. This makes no sense to me.

All the talk of Grealish but not no one has mentioned his team mates James Garner or Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall who have both been in great form for the Toffees so far this season. James Garner especially has easily been one of our best players, he definitely deserved a call up.
