Thomas Tuchel is set to name his first England squad since the World Cup on Friday, beginning a new stage of his tenure as national team manager.
The announcement will provide the first opportunity to assess Tuchel’s selection choices since the tournament. The main focus will be on the decisions facing the England boss as he finalises the group of players he intends to call up.
The squad announcement is expected to prompt questions about which players have impressed Tuchel, who may be left out and how he plans to shape the team. The available information does not identify the individuals or specific selection issues involved.
Tuchel’s first squad since the World Cup will therefore offer an early indication of his approach, although further conclusions will depend on the players selected and the decisions that follow. The squad is due to be named on Friday.
