THE FUSE

The fallout from Tuchel’s maiden World Cup squad announcement continues to reverberate across the footballing world, with Deeney leading the charge against the former Chelsea boss. Writing in his column for The Sun, the former Watford forward expressed disbelief at the talent left behind in London while the Three Lions prepare for the global stage. "For a nation with A-star talent, we seem to be sending a B-team to the World Cup," Deeney wrote. "Thomas Tuchel has got his principles all muddled up and has selected a squad that, if they do not come back with the trophy, should be a sackable offence."
