Tuchel Explains Lewis-Skelly’s Omission from England Squad
Myles Lewis-Skelly has been left out of England’s squad for the November international break. His limited playing time at Arsenal has finally influenced his position in the national setup.
Previously, Thomas Tuchel supported the young left-back and included him in the squad last month despite few appearances. However, England’s deep talent pool has intensified competition, pushing Lewis-Skelly behind other emerging players.
This decision highlights the importance of consistent club performances in determining international selection. Tuchel continues to assess players who perform regularly at a high standard, rather than relying solely on reputation.
“It is about competition and performance. The door is always open for guys who perform on a regular and high level. Myles, Ruben and Morgan got outperformed by Nico [O’Reilly], Alex Scott, Nick Pope and Jude [Bellingham]. Myles simply needs more starts and more minutes.”

Tuchel’s comments make clear that regular playing time and form are decisive factors in his squad choices, even for talented young players like Lewis-Skelly.
