Bellingham has so far only been capped by England at Under-21 level and was due to be part of their squad for this summer’s Euros before he joined Dortmund. “It works well in his family,” said Tuchel, with a smile, when asked about Bellingham moving to Dortmund.

Thomas Tuchel has revealed he will be tempted to stay as England manager if they win the World Cup – and said that at the moment, he would like to stay even if they don’t. The German only signed an 18-month deal when he became England’s third foreign manager and is set to leave his post after the 2026 World Cup.

Senegal have won the Africa Cup of Nations once — in 2021. In 2002, they played in their first ever World Cup and managed to reach the quarter-finals. At the last World Cup, in Qatar, they were knocked out in the round of 16 by England.
