Thomas Tuchel questioned for overlooking uncapped English star thriving in Premier League

Jayden Bogle has impressed at Leeds this season but was overlooked by Thomas Tuchel for England's latest squad despite strong form as a wing-back.

Jayden Bogle has been one of Leeds United's standout performers this season, starting all ten league fixtures and operating as a wing-back on the right side of their attack and defence. The 26-year-old has drawn 16 fouls—the most in the squad—and has been a constant threat across the pitch, earning praise from former Leeds defender Matthew Kilgallon.

Despite his form, Bogle was not included in Thomas Tuchel's latest England squad. Trent Alexander-Arnold and Ben White were selected as right-backs, with Ezri Konsa and Djed Spence also available for the role. Kilgallon expressed surprise at the omission, saying Bogle "has been outstanding" and deserved consideration for a debut against Croatia or Spain.

"I couldn't believe he wasn't in the squad this time," Kilgallon said, highlighting Bogle's work rate, recovery runs, and versatility in defence.

Bogle was also at the centre of controversy last weekend when he avoided a red card for a tackle on Tottenham's Mathys Tel in Leeds' 1-0 win. Kilgallon defended the challenge, explaining that while it looked bad in slow motion, Bogle was in control and jockeying the winger at pace rather than committing a reckless foul. Leeds later condemned racial abuse sent to Bogle following the match.
