  "account": "Manchester City’s guilty verdict over serious breaches of Premier League financial rules is a hot topic within the England national team camp, according to manager Thomas Tuchel. The independent commission found City guilty of all charges related to financial rule violations over nine seasons from 2009-10 to 2017-18, as well as three out of four charges for failing to cooperate with the investigation. The club, which has consistently denied wrongdoing, is appealing the ruling in hopes of avoiding severe sanctions. Midfielder Elliot Anderson and center back Marc Guehi are among the City players included in the England squad. Left back Nico O'Reilly returned to the club due to injury. When asked if the verdict was discussed among the players, Tuchel confirmed that it is a major subject of conversation, stating that everyone in the camp is talking about it, so there's no need for additional commentary from him. He expressed relief that he wasn't the one to initiate the discussion. Tuchel also mentioned that the players are fully prepared for the upcoming match against Croatia, despite the controversy surrounding City.",
