Tuchel also explained that he was tired and had not slept well after England's loss to Senegal in a friendly match. He said that he used the wrong word during a live interview and took responsibility for the headlines that followed.

Tuchel expressed sympathy for Bellingham, who is currently recovering from shoulder surgery and will miss England's upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Andorra and Serbia.

Tuchel is experienced in his role and typically communicates clearly, but in this case, he made a mistake and took it as an opportunity to learn and grow.
