‘They drive the standards’ – Tuchel admits England missed key players in defeat to Japan Thomas Tuchel admits he missed his key core of England players in his side’s defeat to Japan. The Three Lions were without Harry Kane, Bukayo Saka, Declan Rice, John Stones and others for the friendly loss. “Without Harry Kane, we don’t have the same threat,” Tuchel conceded.
“Without Harry Kane, Bayern Munich does not have the same threat. No team in the world would. It’s normal.
Top teams rely on top players. That’s absolutely normal. “It’s always a bit disrupting if the captain leaves the last training and is out of the squad.
“We lost Noni, Bukayo, Declan Rice, John Stones, who are normally the core and the drive of this group and it effected us. It’s normal. They are the players to carry the quality and the momentum on their shoulders.
