Tuchel Explains Lewis-Skelly's Omission from England Squad
Myles Lewis-Skelly was excluded from England’s squad for the November international fixtures due to limited playing time at Arsenal, which has impacted his standing in the national team.
Previously, Thomas Tuchel supported Lewis-Skelly by naming him in the squad last month despite his few minutes on the pitch. However, the depth of talent in England means that competition for positions is intense, and other players have now surpassed him in Tuchel’s considerations.
Importance of Club Performance in National Selection
Lewis-Skelly’s omission highlights how vital regular club performances are for international call-ups. England has a strong talent pool, and Tuchel prioritizes players demonstrating consistent, high-level form.
The decisions reflect a focus on current performance and playing time rather than past reputation alone.
Tuchel’s Statement on Squad Selection
“It is about competition and performance. The door is always open for guys who perform on a regular and high level. Myles, Ruben and Morgan got outperformed by Nico [O’Reilly], Alex Scott, Nick Pope and Jude [Bellingham]. Myles simply needs more starts and more minutes. We selected him last camp despite his position at Arsenal.”
Summary
Tuchel made clear that consistent playing time and strong performances are essential for England selection, explaining why Lewis-Skelly and others were left out despite their reputations.
Author’s summary: Tuchel emphasized that Myles Lewis-Skelly’s exclusion from England’s squad is due to his limited club minutes, underscoring the need for regular game time to secure international selection.
