Thomas Tuchel has apologised for describing elements of Jude Bellingham's behaviour as "repulsive" in a radio interview after England's previous game in June.

The morning after the Three Lions suffered a 3-1 home defeat to Senegal in a friendly at Nottingham Forest's City Ground, Tuchel spoke at length to talkSPORT about the "edge" and "fire" Bellingham has in his game.

Tuchel went on to say of the Real Madrid midfielder that "if he smiles, he wins everyone but sometimes you see the rage, the hunger 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. I see that."

England have not played since but Tuchel addressed the issue on Friday after announcing his squad for next month's World Cup qualifiers again
