Thomas Touchel has had his first full England training session since taking over as manager of England, but that’s a pretty moment.
All 26 players from this England team appeared. [for training]but there were three additions, which is important. Taylor Harwood Bellis, Liam Dellup and Adam Wharton were all included from the U21, so Tuchel’s decided they wanted over 26 in this training session.
We were hoping Cole Palmer would withdraw from this English camp, but the FA has informed us that he is still being valued by Chelsea, so he has not been ruled out of the contest between these two games, despite him not in the park in St. George. I think it’s impossible to say that he’s likely to be involved.
England had a warm session with a bit of featured on the grass on Monday, but Tuesday was his first full training session, first on all cameras. There was also a lot of German media. This is an interest in this and Tuchel acknowledged that it is a very different kind of job he has and is responsible for the international aspect.
I think he gave a very inspirational and emotionally welcoming speech. He repeatedly spoke to the players as a team on the first night about the brotherhood among the players.
Tuchel wants to promote the great relationship Gareth Southgate has begun with his team, but as far as he is concerned, he is the World Cup and his attempt to win the World Cup in this first international camp is now underway.

Ever since he started working, I’ve been really impressed with him. Tuchel had eaten English media from the palm of his hand at every press conference he had ever done, and on all accounts, he had a similar response from the English players.
The players were impressed with him, but it’s a very short-term job. He has an 18-month contract and he’s already three months later before he plays his first game, so he’s running.
He doesn’t need to bring in younger players. He has to try to win the World Cup. I think that’s why you’re looking at some of the names included in this camp.
“Lewis Skelly has the opportunity to be the left back in his first choice.”
Jordan Henderson is perhaps the most controversial inclusion. He is 34 now, and is definitely not for the future — he is here and now. There are England supporters who think he is one of the past and probably shouldn’t be involved.
But Thomas Tuschel said, “Absolutely not at all.” He calls Henderson a winner, leader and has great experience, making up a large part of his plans for the upcoming World Cup. He plays very well for Ajax on all accounts.

Ajax boss Francesco Fallioli admits he is not surprised by Jordan Henderson’s call to the English team after the midfielder was selected by Thomas Touchel.
It’s been a year since I watched him play for England along with Marcus Rashford. He was reborn at Aston Villa – coming out of the Manchester United football wilderness. He felt he needed a break.
I don’t think it’s a big surprise that he’s on this team now, as Tuchel knows he contacted him shortly after being given an England job saying he was part of his plan.
There is a sense among the football press squad and people that Miles Lewis Skelly will have the opportunity to become the left-back of England’s first choice for years to come. This has been a problematic position for England for years and he is Mikel Arteta’s first choice for Arsenal.
He skipped the U21 and was called straight by his senior. He is a great athlete, move forward and creates opportunities, but he is equally very impressive defensively. That’s something Tuchel really appreciates.
Yes, sometimes the attack goes a little too far. We’ve seen him see Red twice – one of those red cards has been cancelled – he felt he might have seen Red in the Champions League as well. But you don’t want to keep that aggression away from defenders like Lewis Skelly.

Dan Byrne revealed how he was first called to England when boss Thomas Tuschel called out the Newcastle Defender at Fasetty Time and joked that he should have been in bed at 10pm!
And then the five days that Dan Byrne had. He has never been trained or stayed at St. George Park before. Almost every player in England knows St. George’s park, so they trained here with their junior team. That’s not the case in burns.
We asked him if he celebrated that and if he had congratulated him on winning the Carabao Cup too much. And he said no, he was actually trying to quiet down the bus around midnight to his teammate.
Will he make his debut? We wait to see it, but he gets a chance due to the injuries of Harry Maguire and Ben White. But that’s an opportunity for burns to impress in the meantime.
It was extremely controversial when Morgan Gibbs White was removed from Friday’s team. In fact, Paul Mason said it was dishonorable that he wasn’t involved in the first place. It’s a chance to impress him with Palmer’s absence, but there’s a great deal of competition for its No. 10 positions: Bellingham, Foden and Palmer. Will Morgan Gibbs White get a chance? He hopes that as he is spending the seasons of his life.

In the “One On One” series, Juliette Ferrington catches up to Newcastle defender Dan Burn and looks back on his career so far.
“Bellingham and Kane’s Keys for World Cup Aspirations”
Jude Bellingham is one of the current senior players despite his kind year and is one of the most important members of this England team if he wants to win the World Cup.
He will not suffer with fools. I know there were some obstacles with Southgate, but they didn’t always look at the eyes, but there was a great deal of mutual respect between them. Can Tuchel develop a close relationship with Bellingham, bring out the best of him, make him the leader of this England team, and make him the best he can?

That’s probably much easier for him to do with Harry Kane. The two men became very close while Zuchel was in charge at Bayern Munich, and the English manager confirmed that Kane would continue as captain.
Kane is still in good shape again, firing perfectly for Bayern Munich. He has spent 10 goals in the Champions League this season. This is more than any other British have ever managed in the competition. Overall, he has 32 goals and 11 assists this season.
He is a goal machine, a perfect expert and will be the absolute key to Chuchel’s hopes of winning the World Cup. Kane has also influenced the rest of this England team, and Tuchel will want to nurture it as much as possible.
Would you like to go back to Tuchel three or four?

Newcastle defender Dan Byrne says he will play right wing if it means he will ride the pitch in an English shirt
This will be a key question for the coming days as it piled up in Tuchel’s first game against Albania at Wembley on Friday.
Many people at Chelsea remember him playing at three centre-backs because the players he had at his disposal were not necessarily the formation that Chuchel liked, but rather suited to that formation.
Looking at what he did with PSG and Bayern Munich, I think he tended to play in the back four so I think it might be the case for both. If you ask me how my gut feelings he will go mostly with England and the four of them on the back.
We know that fullbacks were in a difficult position. If you’re playing with three centre-backs, there’s a lot of hope for the fullback and can support the England offense. I don’t know if he has the perfect right talent so that he can do it accurately.
Also, when playing with wingbacks, I think you’re invalidating places where England is a very strong place. This is an offensive player. They have so many good offensive options that you want to be the people who have those people crucifixed down the side.
It may evolve and change. It could be something Tuchel is ready to change mid-match – he’s done it before. Tuchel will probably use both formations over the next 15 months.
