We'll see you then! Just a quick one. .. Do you think England will win the World Cup next summer? Click 'Get Involved' at the top of this page to have your say I liked Tuchel's manner and answers in the conference, and I think the squad is a good balance from those available of attacking and creative players alongside those that can bring experience, stability and structure both on and off the pitch (which is why Henderson is in the squad, which I personally support - when he's on the pitch things are always in better shape and structure, regardless of what he does personally 'on the ball'). Matt Very pleased to see Adam Wharton in the England squad. He provides something different in the middle with his ability to keep the ball and find a pass through the lines. Click 'Get Involved' at the top of this page to have your say We should have left-footed left-backs, Lewis-Skelly is excellent but still learning. He could learn a lot for Luke Shaw, who is looking good again and has the experience. If a right footer plays there, Livramento was excellent v Liverpool in Carabao Final. I don’t think Spence is at international level. David - Lewisham What do we think Thomas Tuchel's first choice defence is? Reece James, John Stones, Marc Guehi and Myles Lewis-Skelly? Well, what do we all make of that? Plenty from Thomas Tuchel there, who says Jack Grealish and Trent Alexander-Arnold need more rhythm to be called-up. Click 'Get Involved' at the top of this page to have your say So glad to see Spence in there. He's been awesome, but also has that confidence that's great to see. No one bothers him. James - Kent England England manager Thomas Tuchel on Djed Spence's first England call-up: "Djed comes to camp as a left-back together with Myles and fights for his position there. It's a first call-up. I think it's very well deserved. He had a very strong end to the season, won a major trophy and a very strong start to the season with Tottenham. He played very impressively in the European Super Cup. "He is a very aggressive player who loves to have on on one duels, is not shy to be in one-on-one duels with the most talented, and the fastest players who play on the right wing out there, so strong start to the season straight away and he's a big part of Tottenham's success at the moment and everyone told us he is very focused at the moment. Very focused on training, very keen to get better. We can see this, and that's why we called him up. " England England boss Thomas Tuchel has confirmed Djed Spence will compete for the left-back spot alongside Myles Lewis-Skelly. "He is a very aggressive player who loves to have one-on-one duels". England England manager Thomas Tuchel on Manchester United midfielder Kobbie Mainoo: "He deserved to start. He was impressive. Was just impressive how he played, how he played in the club is maybe the most important and then it was almost logical step that he played for the country and he played fearless. He played with excitement that the youth sometimes brings and now he experienced the other side of it. Sometimes you can feel the pressure and changes in the club are not in your favour and he's lacking the minutes. "I don't think he lacks anything else. He has the experience, the power, the quality, the talent to be on our list. He is on our list of players but at the moment, on his position six, eight, 10 position we have players who are in full rhythm and who play key parts in their clubs, and this is the next step for him. " England England manager Thomas Tuchel on giving players an extra day off to sort transfers: "One reason we called players on Tuesday is so we don't have mixed emotions of transfer deadline day, they have one day off. One part of the decision was to give them the freedom to sort out their transfer decisions. Of course we are interested. " England England manager Thomas Tuchel on his squad: "We need two camps to understand our players better. We feel very well equipped now. The plan is absolutely clear what we want to do and hopefully the spectators can feel that. The emphasis is to play with freedom and hunger and win a title. " England England boss Thomas Tuchel says Manchester United midfielder Kobbie Mainoo is "lacking minutes" but is a player on their "list". England England manager Thomas Tuchel on previously describing Jude Bellingham on the pitch as 'repulsive': "I used this word unintentionally, just to make it very clear. I used it unintentionally. There was no message. There was no hidden agenda. I fully understood and understand that it's my responsibility that I create these headlines. I am sorry for the upset and am sorry for the upset for the headlines I created. "I am experienced enough and should've known better. I should've done better. I thought I have a little more credit with you guys that I do all this in my second language. I did all this the morning after a loss with not a lot of sleep. I did it in a live interview and I used the wrong word. Again, it's my responsibility. I used the wrong word, I didn't want to use this word, I used it, I created the upset, it's my responsibility. " On if he contacted Bellingham after the comments: "Of course, I made contact straight away with him. Jude focuses now on his process in rehabilitation, and we focus on Andorra and Serbia. " England England boss Thomas Tuchel says the aim is to play with "freedom and hunger and to win a title". England England manager Thomas Tuchel on a long summer an international head coach: "The competition is on. And that is why I like it. "There were no transfers, no engagement with agents and club officials. We used the summer to reflect on the first two camps. "We have invited a lot of observations from the players and wanted to build a tighter, more competitive squad. It is important we show improvement and create identity through the three camps. " England Thomas Tuchel described Jude Bellingham's behaviour on the pitch as "repulsive" during an interview in the last international break and says he the word "unintentionally". "I used this word unintentionally. There was no agenda. I'm sorry for the upset. " England England manager Thomas Tuchel on Eberechi Eze: "He was decisive for Crystal Palace in both finals. He was amazing in both camps for us, as a teammate and a player, he showed all his potential. He was one of the players who had a very good camp even in June. "He showed his quality and showed what he can bring to any time. He was a wonderful teammate, on top of a very talented player. I think it was the right moment for him to go for a new challenge. It was the exact right moment to go for the new challenge. He decided to try one of the most competitive teams in the country, and this can only be good for us. " England England boss Thomas Tuchel says it's been a "long summer" with not having to deal with the transfer window. He says he used the time to "reflect" on the last training camps. It's important to "create an identity now". Copyright © 2025 BBC. The BBC is not responsible for the content of external sites. Read about our approach to external linking.
