Overview
- England’s rotated side drew 1-1 with Uruguay at Wembley on Friday, as returning Ben White was booed, then scored, before conceding a stoppage-time penalty converted by Federico Valverde.
- Thomas Tuchel called the decision against White a “very soft” penalty and questioned VAR after heavy challenges on Phil Foden and Noni Madueke went unchecked.
- Foden left in the second half after a tackle by Ronald Araujo, with Madueke later seen in a knee brace, and both will be assessed before Tuesday’s Japan friendly.
- Tuchel urged supporters to move on as Jordan Henderson and Harry Maguire pledged support for White, whose first England game since 2022 followed his earlier exit from the Qatar World Cup squad.
- Tuchel is running an expanded, rotated 35-man camp to limit workloads before final selections, while separate reports this week said Foden could consider moving abroad if Manchester City contract talks stall.
