(opens the publisher’s site)Tuchel said Jude Bellingham could serve as an alternative to Harry Kane up front after Kane scored in England's 2-0 Nations League win over Czechia.
- Kane scored his 87th international goal in 123 appearances as England beat Czechia 2-0 in Prague.
- Tuchel backed the 33-year-old Kane to reach a century of international goals and said England cannot expect a replica of their greatest forward.
- Tuchel said Bellingham, who led the line after replacing Kane late on, could play as a No 9.
- Kane praised Anthony Gordon and Trent Alexander-Arnold, who created the opening goal on Alexander-Arnold's first international appearance since June 2025.
- Tuchel said no immediate decision is needed on Kane's future, though the team will eventually find a solution without him.
