keeping me on bench will not solve Chelsea's attacking problem - young star blast tuchel - I deserve a spot on Chelsea starting XI against Manchester United.

“When I saw it, I thought maybe Reece was in the England water polo team!” Tuchel said at his press conference on Friday. “Reece is training in the pool right now. I understood he was selected for the football team. This will not happen. My understanding is he will not go. It can only be a misunderstanding, nothing else.”


Thomas Tuchel has expressed his surprise that Reece James was named in the England squad, with the Chelsea boss jokingly saying he thought it was to play water polo as his injured defender is restricted to work in the swimming pool.

England boss Gareth Southgate named James in his squad for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers with Andorra and Hungary.


The news came as a surprise to Tuchel, who has confirmed the defender will not be released as James is currently nursing an ankle injury he picked up against Manchester City last weekend and will not be involved against Southampton on Saturday.

None of the edging 55% towards James being a wing-back and 45% towards being part of Chelsea's back three. He is a wing-back. If his six goals and seven assists over the course of the season were not telling enough of his contributions from the right flank, then his match-leading 112 touches perhaps should be. The former Wigan loanee put in tantalising deliveries again and again, menacingly across the six-yard line, and was rampant up and down the right side. Thomas Tuchel has been able to call upon fine replacements in the form of Cesar Azpilicueta and Ruben Loftus-Cheek but the difference his first choice selection makes is telling. Of course, James is capable of playing on the right side of a back three but if that is seen as necessary then it `becomes necessary to find a player who could bring the qualities James does to that role - so the 22-year-old can thrive o...
