Thomas Tuchel seems to have made a decision on Everton ace Jack Grealish’s inclusion in the World Cup.
Grealish has been sensational since joining Everton, notching the winning goal against Crystal Palace before the international break.
Grealish became the first Everton player to win the Premier League Player of the Month award for five years, after getting four assists in his first three matches in August.
However, he was snubbed by Tuchel for the latest England squad, despite his excellent start to the campaign.

Jack Grealish set for England snub despite Everton stardom
Everton star Grealish is a potential call-up for Tuchel for the competition that takes place in the United States next summer, after his brilliant form for the Blues.
MORE TOFFEES STORIES
However, Mail Sport journalist Craig Hope believes that it will be a surprise if Grealish were to make it into the squad for the tournament.
He states that Tuchel is exploring other options, and the Blues star has never been included under him, and that is unlikely to change in the coming months.

Tuchel will be making a mistake if he does not take Grealish
Grealish has returned to the magician that he was before moving to Pep Guardiola’s side, where he was essentially put in a tactical straitjacket.
If Tuchel decides to leave the Toffees star at home for the tournament, it will be a huge mistake, as he can do things on the ball, which no one else in the squad can.
Grealish has four assists and one goal so far this season
He was last included for England in a 3-1 win over Finland in October 2024, when he scored the opener
He has not been in the squad for the last eight Three Lions matches
If Grealish continues his form, there is absolutely no reason why he should not make the squad, as he has been one of the best players in the top-flight.
The ex-Chelsea manager seems to not be too keen on Moyes’ stars, he even questioned Jordan Pickford’s position when he first came in, although he is definitely his number one goalkeeper now.
However, the likes of Jarrad Branthwaite, James Garner and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall also seem to have a long way to make the squad, the latter duo despite their form.
