Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel has ruled out Reece James from his England call.
Tuchel says James will not join the England squad, despite being selected by Gareth Southgate, as he is currently training in the pool.
"When I saw it, I thought maybe Reece goes with the England water polo team as right now he is training in the pool," said Tuchel.
"I was a bit surprised but I understood he was selected for the football team, so this will not happen as he is training in the pool right now.
"My last information is that he will not go so it can only be a misunderstanding and nothing else.
"Mason [Mount] is back and it was a minor injury and we are happy he is back. It is obviously a given he was picked [for England] and he will give his best for the squad.
"It would be nice to be selected [for Ben Chilwell]. He is proud to play for England and has the quality to play for England, but he understands he has to earn it with minutes.
"He has not had too many minutes so he can accept why he hasn't been selected. Once he plays more for us and plays with quality, he will have the chance."
