Tuchel explains Lewis-Skelly’s exclusion from latest England squad
Myles Lewis-Skelly has been omitted from England’s squad for the November international break. His limited playing time at Arsenal has finally influenced his position in the national setup.
Thomas Tuchel supported the left-back last month by including him despite minimal club minutes. However, England’s vast talent pool means competition for places remains intense, and others have now surpassed Lewis-Skelly in Tuchel’s plans.
The decision highlights how consistent performances at club level are crucial for international selection. England’s depth allows Tuchel to choose players who maintain a strong and regular form, showing that selection depends more on performance than on name recognition.
“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.”

Tuchel’s remarks underline his merit-based approach, where form and match sharpness outweigh previous selections or reputation.
