When will Thomas Tuchel announce his first England squad and who is in line for a call up?

Thomas Tuchille is preparing to name his first team in England this month as the three lions begin their journey towards the 2026 World Cup.

During his temporary term, Lee Carsley introduced eight new faces to the team, but there is expected to be more new talents under the leadership of Tuchel.

Since his official assumption of Gareth Southgate in January, the former Chelsea coach attended several Premier League matches, where he has closely evaluated potential communication operations.

England has been attracted to Group K to qualify for the World Cup, where they will face Serbia, Andra, Albania and Latvia.

The campaign started this month, and Tuchel has already started reaching the players in preparation for the upcoming combinations.

Early player contacts and the main absence

Some players confirmed that they had already spoken with the 51 -year -old coach, including Noni Madik from Chelsea and James Madison from Tottenham.

Tuchel also confessed to contact with Arsenal Defender Ben White, who has been far from preparing England since 2022.

However, Louis Hall from Newcastle is one name that will definitely be absent, as he was excluded for this season due to injury.

When will Tuchel announce its team in England?

The official team of the upcoming matches against Albania and Latvia will be unveiled on Thursday, March 13th.

Although the specified time has not been confirmed yet, it is expected that it will be announced at about 2 pm, followed by a press conference where Tuchel will discuss its choices.

England: injuries and selection fears

Tuchel faces many headaches, as the main players struggle with injuries.

• Louis Hall (Newcastle) – Outside this season
• Joe Gomez (Liverpool) – It was marginalized with injury
• Harry Maguire (Manchester United) – doubtful after picking up an injury to the FA Cup
• Luke Show (Manchester United) – confirmed
• Kobbie Mainoo (Manchester United) – big doubt
• Masson Mount (Manchester United) – excluded
• John Stones (Manchester City) – not available
• Noni Madoyk (Chelsea) – a great doubt about the issue of the strings of the knee
• Dominique Solank (Tottenham) – Work for full fitness, but may not recover in time

With multiple absent, Tuchel may have to look at the new faces to fill the gaps in his team.

Jimmy Benoi of Borussia Dortmund is among the players who can attract the attention of the manager while his choices are completed.

Tottenham Djed Spence is another named name, as with Myles Lewis-Sikely from Arsenal.

What did the English Federation president Mark Polingham say?

Mark Polingham, CEO of the Football Association, praised the dedication of Tuchille in his new role, noting that there are major teams from his predecessor, Gareth Southgate – the German director chose to settle in London and is a frequent presence in St. George Park.

“I think Thomas realized early that you do not build these ties in the six days in which you meet, so he made a lot of effort in that,” said Bollingham.

Tuchel was proactive in building relations with his team, as he created a long list of 55 players – including local and international stars – to ensure their feeling of recognition and appreciation.

“I think he got 55 in this long list and makes sure that he has a strong relationship with them, and they know he saw them. Polingham added,” Not only players in England, but players are playing abroad as well, and I think this will only stand in a good position in the long run. “

Not only did the former Chelsea president maintain a frequent contact with the players through phone calls, but also traveled to meet major international figures such as Harry Kane and Kyle Walker.

Can Tuchel remain outside his contract?

Polingham also admitted Tuchel’s cultural awareness and adaptation, similar to Southgate. While the manager signed a 18 -month contract, there is speculation about whether it may remain longer. However, Tuchel is still cautious about long -term obligations.

I think he always said: “I may have been here for 10 years, but I will just register in two -year courses.”

Despite the responsible short time, Tuchel has already left a strong impression on FA and his team.
