Thomas Tuchel stated that he holds "no issue" with Jack Grealish after these players did not make the England team for forthcoming matches against Wales and Latvia.
Bellingham did not earn a recall despite returning from a shoulder issue, whereas Foden and Grealish also miss out although displaying a return to form with their clubs.
Tuchel mentioned that Bellingham desired to be included of the selection, having spoken with him on the phone.
"He is a special player, and for exceptional talents there can always be special rules," Tuchel said about Bellingham, who has only started once since returning to fitness.
"But we decided to stick with the simple choice of inviting the identical squad.
"Bellingham consistently merits to be here. There is also the situation that he has not quite regained his full rhythm again at his club - he has not finished a full match.
"He expressed a desire to be called up. We conducted a phone call."
Tuchel made an effort to emphasize his positive relationship with Bellingham after he said sorry to him earlier this year for calling his conduct during a match as "disgusting" in a televised interview.
Tuchel explained that he uttered those terms "unintentionally" and promised to be more cautious in future.
Inquired if he had a problem with Bellingham, he responded: "No. There is no issue either with Foden or Grealish.
"Foden is back to influencing and shaping games for his club. Jack is very close to returning to the top form of himself.
"There is no personal problem."
Saka replacing the injured Noni Madueke is the sole alteration to the previous team, with Loftus-Cheek and Quansah retaining their places after being late additions previously due to fitness concerns.
The Three Lions play the Welsh team in a friendly at Wembley on Thursday before a World Cup qualifier in Riga on 14 October.
Should the team win in Latvia, they will need a maximum of two points from their final two qualifiers - against Serbia and Albania in next month - to earn a spot in the upcoming tournament in Canada, Mexico, and the United States.
Strong Performance Under Tuchel
England produced their finest performance significantly under the manager's guidance when they beat the Serbian team 5-0 away in Belgrade in their previous match.
The coach stated that showing meant it an straightforward choice to keep mostly the identical group, though "there exist no certainties" for any player regarding selection.
"Our previous gathering was just three and a half weeks ago and the cohesion and morale was at its peak. That is the reason we decided to invite the identical players to this session," he commented.
"Foden is in a excellent run of form. Wharton merits to be with us. Curtis Jones and Trevoh Chalobah are getting minutes with their teams.
"We have players who warrant to be here. Palmer is unfit and is a key talent. It will always be the case.
"Are we a stronger side with Jude? Absolutely. But I mentioned before, what do we do if Jude is injured before the World Cup? Do we simply give up?"
Tuchel's Press Conference Gets Noticed
The England manager again delivered a box office news conference.
Tuchel, a expert of handling his relationship with the media, began with an opening statement to explain his thinking for his decisions.
The midfielder is fit and available and expressed interest to come to camp, but the coach has said he did not want to change the squad significantly after a statement five-goal victory over Serbia - where the manager said team spirit was extremely strong.
But with him not selecting Bellingham, and his repeated comments about team spirit, it is hard not to connect the two - although Tuchel insisted repeatedly how he is "special" and that there is "no problem" between him and one of the national team's key talents.
The England manager has consistently made it clear that he wanted to make the national team feel like a club team and, by retaining the identical selection after a big victory, he has achieved that. But the inquiries will arise once more in the next camp if England perform strongly in these upcoming fixtures.
