Rooney: Tuchel doesn t need to recruit Kane this time; Foden will be fine if he can maintain his form

November 16th Premier League legend Rooney talked about the selection of offensive personnel for the Three Lions on a podcast. He said that multiple players need to compete for positions.

Rooney said: "I think this international break is a good opportunity to give Kane a week off. He doesn't need to participate in these games. Although he may want to be involved, we should let him endure it. And in this way, Tuchel will have the opportunity to inspect other players and see how they play.

"If Foden can maintain his current form and performance, I don't think he will have any problem playing as a false 9. I have some other options in mind, but I don't want to discuss them in public. Don't forget that we also have Watkins and Welbeck, who may be more traditional No. 9 players and some options different from Kane.

"England do have a lot of players to choose from, but in the end it may come down to who is in the best form, what kind of players we have in the squad and how their playing time should be allocated."
