A WAG, Britney De Villiers, posts on Instagram criticising Thomas Tuchel after her partner Morgan Gibbs-White is omitted from an England squad. De Villiers accompanies her comment with a stat she highlights about Gibbs-White’s recent Premier League form.
According to the outlets, the post points to Gibbs-White being singled out for creating over five chances in a single Premier League game this season, framing the omission as unexpected given his attacking contribution. The reports focus on the public nature of the response and the timing around the squad selection.
Both sources describe the same episode but offer limited additional context about why Gibbs-White is not selected or how Tuchel’s selection criteria weigh other factors such as roles, fitness, or tactical needs. Neither outlet provides further verification beyond the statistic referenced in De Villiers’ social media post.
