Overview
- Tuchel ran a 35-man split squad through Uruguay and Japan at Wembley, and the underwhelming displays deepened his selection problems before the World Cup.
- Analysts treat Harry Kane as indispensable up front and Jordan Pickford as the clear first-choice in goal.
- Reports say Tuchel’s centre-back order now favors Marc Guéhi, Ezri Konsa, John Stones and Trevoh Chalobah ahead of Harry Maguire.
- Ben White, Marcus Rashford, James Garner and Jude Bellingham were tagged as winners from the camp, while Phil Foden’s poor outings put his place at risk.
- Trent Alexander-Arnold’s omission fueled calls to restore him, with outlets publishing rival projected XIs that slot him at right-back as Tuchel nears his 26-man pick.
