'He has EVERYTHING': Thomas Tuchel praises Ruben Loftus-Cheek after upturn in form... but wants the Chelsea midfielder to 'push himself' more, and forget about making England's World Cup squad for now

Thomas Tuchel believes Ruben Loftus-Cheek does not know how good he is despite all he has going for him but says the last thing he should be thinking about right now is making England’s World Cup squad.

Tuchel was in candid and playful mood while discussing Loftus-Cheek and how he is not as confident as he might appear.

‘Self-confidence does not come from being big and tall and good looking,’ Tuchel joked.
