The big questions for Tuchel's first England squad since World Cup
Before Thomas Tuchel names his first squad since the World Cup on Friday, BBC Sport looks at the big questions facing the England boss.
The announcement of Thomas Tuchel's first England squad since the World Cup has garnered significant attention, and rightly so. As the new England boss, Tuchel faces high expectations and scrutiny, particularly given the team's performance in the World Cup. With several key players potentially returning from injury and others pushing for a spot, the selection process is likely to be closely watched.
One of the main challenges Tuchel will face is finding the right balance between experience and youth. England's World Cup campaign was marked by some promising displays from younger players, and Tuchel will need to decide whether to build on this momentum or opt for more seasoned campaigners. Additionally, the form of some of England's star players in their respective club teams will also influence Tuchel's selection decisions.
As we await the squad announcement on Friday, all eyes will be on Tuchel's choices and how they might shape the team's future. Will he stick with the tried and tested or give younger players a chance to shine? The coming days and weeks will provide valuable insight into Tuchel's vision for the team and how he plans to navigate the challenges ahead, including upcoming international fixtures.
