Liam Delap is set for direct talks with England boss Thomas Tuchel, who wants to spell out the benchmarks the Chelsea striker must hit to earn a first senior call-up before the World Cup, with only Harry Kane guaranteed a striking spot. Delap impressed for Ipswich before a £30m move to Chelsea but injuries, a red card and limited end product have stalled his progress while Joao Pedro has flourished, leaving Tuchel ready to challenge him to deliver a strong second half of the season to enter contention.

Thomas Tuchel addressed claims Jude Bellingham did not fully embrace England’s collective after being substituted for Morgan Rogers, saying any impression of individual frustration is a bad look when camp messages stress unity, shared sacrifice and acceptance of tough decisions during a crowded international schedule. Tuchel said he would review footage but believes everyone celebrated Harry Kane’s goals together, stressing that both Bellingham and Rogers want to play every minute yet must accept rotation. He repeated that behaviour is key and that players must handle in game choices without public displays of dissent.

Harry Kane believes Thomas Tuchel’s presence and aura can give England a crucial mental edge as they chase World Cup success, praising the manager he previously worked with at Bayern Munich after a perfect qualifying run with seven wins from seven in Group K. Kane highlighted Tuchel’s big-club pedigree with Borussia Dortmund, Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea, saying England already feel different since he replaced Gareth Southgate after Euro 2024. With twenty goals scored and none conceded in qualifying, he sees Sunday’s Albania match as a final tune-up before next summer’s tournament.

Neuer error ends Bayern’s 16-game streak in 2-2 draw at Union

Bayern Munich
November 2025

Bayern’s 16-match winning run halted after a 2-2 draw in Köpenick. Danilho Doekhi’s tame effort slipped under Manuel Neuer for Union’s opener before Harry Kane rescued a point late. The dropped points still leave Bayern six clear. Union absorbed pressure and targeted set pieces, striking through Doekhi twice—the second a poacher’s finish on 83’. Bayern equalised earlier via Luis Díaz and pushed late, but Kompany refused to blame Neuer, framing the concession as a collective sequence failure.

Bayern shortlist Hoffenheim’s Fisnik Asllani as post-Kane depth

Bayern added Asllani—six goals and two assists in nine outings—to a future striker depth list, exploring a manageable release clause amid wider interest including Barcelona. The Kosovan’s link-up play and penalty-box instincts fit succession planning beyond Kane’s peak, aligning with Munich’s long-range squad architecture and multi-season cap table. Scouting focuses on high-press compatibility, channel runs off a dominant 9, and finishing under pressure. With Nicolas Jackson expected permanently, Bayern seek rotation resilience and injury cover. Negotiations hinge on clause structure, player pathway assurances, and minutes behind Kane. Hoffenheim will drive a competitive auction; timing and player preference will dictate final pricing leverage.

Kane reached 400 club goals with a Klassiker strike against Borussia Dortmund and insists his scoring peak is not over. He has 21 goals in 12 matches this season, 104 for Bayern overall, and 76 for England, reinforcing his standing among modern No.9s. The 32-year-old’s haul spans Tottenham (280), Bayern (104), Millwall (9), Leyton Orient (5) and Leicester (2) across 607 club appearances. Form remains elite, near a goal per game at Bayern. Post-match, Kane posted pride in the milestone and vowed further output.

Bayern are nine wins from nine across competitions with clear build-out angles, switches of play, and collective pressing that amplify Harry Kane’s finishing and link work. Emphasis on outlet geometry, rapid side-to-side shifts, and compact high press has restored control despite summer misses, with cohesion driving the unbeaten run.

Ex-England striker Michael Owen has warned that the Three Lions could struggle at the 2026 World Cup due to ageing stars, dips in form, and harsh conditions in North America. He doubts Tuchel’s squad is improving compared to recent years.
Owen noted Kane and Stones are past their peak, Walker will be absent, and players like Foden haven’t maintained prior levels. He also flagged squad depth issues in defence and concerns over fitness in hot U.S./Mexico conditions. Tuchel’s challenge will be building chemistry around younger talents like Bellingham and Saka while phasing out fading veterans.
