Mason Mount Discusses England Return Hopes with New Coach Tuchel

Mason Mount has revealed that he recently spoke with Thomas Tuchel, his former Chelsea manager and now England coach, about his hopes of returning to the national team ahead of the 2026 World Cup. Mount, who was a key player for England until the 2022 World Cup, has struggled with injuries and form since his £55-60 million move to Manchester United in 2023, limiting his international appearances. Tuchel reached out to around 40-50 players, including Mount, to catch up and discuss preparations for his new role, emphasizing that there are no guarantees for selection despite past connections. Mount acknowledged the high competition for places in the England squad and expressed his determination to push for a recall. The midfielder remains motivated by the honor of representing his country and sees Tuchel’s excitement and energy about the role as a positive sign. Though Mount recognizes that club and international football differ, his conversations with Tuchel have reignited his ambition to rejoin the England team.
