England manager Thomas Tuchel has spoken out on his decision not to name Brighton star Danny Welbeck in his squad for their upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Serbia and Albania.
The veteran forward was widely tipped to be a part of the ex-Chelsea boss’ team to provide cover for Bayern Munich’s Harry Kane in the final third, but Tuchel instead opted to name just one out-and-out No. 9 in his squad.
Welbeck has scored six goals in 10 Premier League appearances so far this season, and his displays sparked plenty of conversations about whether he could be an option for the upcoming camp ahead of the likes of Liam Delap and Ollie Watkins.
