Thomas Tuchel says he feels “parental responsibility” for Max Dowman, despite leaving the door open to him making a late play for England’s World Cup squad.
The England manager has likened the rise of 16-year-old Dowman to that of his Arsenal team-mate Myles Lewis-Skelly, who scored the first goal of Tuchel’s reign when he netted against Albania on his international debut aged 18. Tuchel admits Lewis-Skelly is now enduring a “difficult time”.
