Thomas Tuchel Prepares to Announce First England Squad

The new England manager faces key decisions on injuries, recalls, and potential new faces ahead of World Cup qualifiers.

Thomas Tuchel will reveal his first England squad on Friday, marking the start of his tenure as head coach with preparations for World Cup qualifiers against Albania and Latvia.
Significant injuries to key players, including Trent Alexander-Arnold, John Stones, and Harry Maguire, have complicated squad selection, particularly in defense.
Potential recalls include Marcus Rashford, who has shown improvement on loan at Aston Villa, and Ben White, who has been in international exile since the 2022 World Cup.
Tuchel is reportedly considering integrating new talents such as Arsenal’s Myles Lewis-Skelly and Nottingham Forest’s Elliot Anderson to address gaps in left-back and midfield positions.
The squad announcement is anticipated to provide insight into Tuchel’s tactical preferences, including whether he will favor a back three or back four system.
