Ollie Watkins Snubbed by Thomas Tuchel in England's Draw vs Ghana

Ollie Watkins was overlooked by Thomas Tuchel in England's 0-0 draw against Ghana on Tuesday.

The England manager brought on Bukayo Saka, Eberechi Eze, Morgan Rogers, and Marcus Rashford in a bid to break through Ghana's defence.

Tuchel's men struggled to find a way through Ghana's low block and aggressive play.

The constant stop-start nature of the game meant England never found any real momentum.

Ollie Watkins and Ivan Toney were not given a chance to make an impact, with Tuchel opting to keep Harry Kane on for the full 90 minutes.

Tuchel said it wasn't even a consideration to take Kane off, citing his love of responsibility and ability to take it.

The England manager elaborated on Kane's role, saying he was not involved as much as they would have liked due to Ghana's narrow play.

Panama may present an opportunity for Tuchel to change things, but he insists he's not thought of that yet, saying "I have no idea, Panama is in four days".

And Tuchel's decision to snub Ollie Watkins and Ivan Toney has raised questions about their roles in the team.

But Tuchel's focus is on the next game, and he will be looking to find a way to break through opposing teams' defences.

So the England manager will be considering his options carefully, including whether to give Ollie Watkins a chance.

The 2023 World Cup has been a challenging tournament for England so far, with the team struggling to find their rhythm.

As the tournament progresses, Tuchel will be looking to find the right balance and make the most of his squad, including Ollie Watkins.
