Thursday's briefing: Bellingham upsets Tuchel's mother with behaviour
Jack Grealish has been left out of Manchester City's squad for the upcoming Club World Cup. Tuchel questions Bellingham's conduct Thomas Tuchel said his mother finds some of Jude Bellingham's on-field behaviour 'repulsive' (John Walton/PA) Thomas Tuchel said he loves Jude Bellingham's 'fire' but England's head coach revealed his mother finds some of the midfielder's on-field antics 'repulsive'. The 21-year-old was angry with officials on Tuesday after his equaliser against Senegal was ruled out following a contentious VAR intervention for a handball by Levi Colwill. The midfielder kicked a water cooler after the 3-1 loss and the following day Tuchel made some extraordinary remarks about him in an interview with talkSPORT. Put to the head coach that some fans think England would be better off without Bellingham, he said: 'I struggle to see that. 'I think it has to be the other way around – how we can have the best version of him and the best acceptance, that people understand what he is bringing to us and that he is bringing a certain edge. 'But I see that it can create mixed emotions. I see this with my parents, with my mum, that she sometimes cannot see the nice and well-educated and well-behaved guy that I see. 'If he smiles, he wins everyone. But sometimes you see the rage, you see the hunger and the rage and the fire, and it comes out in a way that can be a bit repulsive, for example, for my mother, when she sits in front of the TV.' Kane calls for England to learn Harry Kane called for England to learn from their loss to Senegal (Mike Egerton/PA) Harry Kane meanwhile insisted England can use their 3-1 defeat to Senegal on Tuesday to 'learn and appreciate' the level they need to reach. The 31-year-old got England off to a flying start when he turned home from close range in the seventh minute for his 73rd goal for his country. However, Ismaila Sarr's equaliser five minutes before the break shifted the momentum before second-half strikes from Habib Diarra and Cheikh Sabaly earned Senegal victory and handed Thomas Tuchel his first defeat as England boss. England thought that they had equalised to make it 2-2 but Bellingham's effort was ruled out following a lengthy VAR check after the ball seemingly came off Colwill's arm from a set-piece. Kane was upset with some of the officiating at the City Ground, but felt defeat may not be a bad thing for a team that is trying to learn from a new boss. He said: 'It might feel a bit different but sometimes nights like tonight are not a terrible thing… to learn and appreciate how hard it is to win against any team.' Grealish out of City squad Jack Grealish has been left out of Manchester City's Club World Cup squad (Martin Rickett/PA) Jack Grealish has been left out of Manchester City's squad for the Club World Cup. The England international was not included in the 27-man travelling party published by the Premier League club on Wednesday. The 29-year-old's omission had been widely anticipated and will raise further doubts over his future at the Etihad Stadium. The midfielder, signed for £100million from Aston Villa four years ago, has fallen down the pecking order at City since playing a starring role in their treble success of 2023. He made just seven Premier League starts in the 2024-25 campaign and was notably not summoned from the bench as City went down to a 1-0 defeat to Crystal Palace in the FA Cup final last month. He was then left out of the matchday squad for the final Premier League game of the season at Fulham altogether. With City's overhaul of the squad continuing apace with four new signings this week, there is growing speculation Grealish could leave. He has been linked with a number of clubs in England and in Europe. What's on today? Good vibes ahead of the #U21EURO! 😁 Final prep for tomorrow's game against Czechia for our #YoungLions 👊 — England (@England) June 11, 2025 England under-21s begin their European Championship defence against the Czech Republic in Slovakia.

Palace co-owner John Textor would sell shares for Europa League chance
The American, whose Eagle Football Group owns 43 per cent of Palace, has imperilled the club's chance of a first-ever European campaign owing to his involvement with Ligue 1 side Lyon, but is ready to offload his stake to his fellow co-owners in order to bring the saga to an end. UEFA does not allow clubs with the same ownership to compete in the same European competitions in a season. As well as his stake in Palace, the 59-year-old has a controlling stake in the French club, also via Eagle Football. However it is also reported that the European governing body does not consider Textor's influence at Selhurst Park to be decisive and is leaning towards allowing the club into the Europa League regardless. The PA news agency understands no formal decision is likely on Palace's fate until the end of June. Textor has previously spoken of his frustration at how little influence his stake entitles him to, over football matters. Victory for Oliver Glasner's side over Manchester City in last month's FA Cup final gave them their first major trophy and with it a first crack at Europe. However, Nottingham Forest have since written to UEFA to challenge Palace's Europa League spot and in the hope of taking their place. Forest's owner Evangelos Marinakis, who also owns Greek side Olympiacos, placed his shares in the club in a blind trust before the governing body's March 1 deadline, anticipating Nuno Espirito Santo's side's European qualification. At present Forest, who finished seventh in last season's Premier League, are set to enter the Conference League but would take Palace's Europa League place, should they be deemed ineligible.
