Foden was the only player to start both games in the final camp but struggled as a false nine against Japan.

Tuchel said Foden was excellent in training but struggles to show it on the pitch.

Foden has started just four of City's last 15 games and not scored since December.

Tuchel praised Foden's attitude and training performance but said he struggles to have the full impact in matches.

This gap between practice and competitive games was a recurrent theme across sources.

Tuchel assessed that offensive creativity was lacking, a responsibility placed on Foden in Kane's absence.

Foden faces fierce competition from Bellingham, Palmer, and Rogers.

Tribuna stated the choice is too difficult and someone will end up very unhappy.

Palmer's failure to impress alongside Foden was noted, underscoring tough decisions.

Tuchel must submit the final squad by 30 May.

Foden's lack of club minutes and recent form leave him in a precarious position.
