Overview
- The Wembley friendly, which kicks off Tuesday at 7:45pm BST, will be shown on ITV1 with free streaming on ITVX.
- Following Friday's 1-1 draw with Uruguay, Bukayo Saka and Declan Rice returned to Arsenal for medical checks and other call-ups went back to clubs, leaving England with a trimmed 27-man squad.
- Harry Kane has rejoined the camp and Tuchel is set to recall several regulars, with Dean Henderson, Ezri Konsa, Marc Guéhi, Elliot Anderson, Morgan Rogers and Anthony Gordon back in full training.
- Japan arrive in strong form after a 1-0 win over Scotland, though defender Takehiro Tomiyasu withdrew through injury, and Premier League duo Kaoru Mitoma and Daichi Kamada are expected to play bigger roles.
- This is England’s last home run-out before Tuchel finalises his World Cup choices, giving fringe players a final chance to press their case before decisions later in spring.
