The new England manager is getting 60 days with his players before the World Cup starts next June - he is quickly getting to work

Tuchel didn’t help himself in avoiding claims of nepotism after James became one of the best full-backs in world football under his tutelage at Chelsea, playing a key role in winning the Champions League in 2021, by his first line of defence when asked about his place in the squad being “I know Reece”.

Tuchel made the surprise decision to recall Henderson for England's upcoming 2026 World Cup qualifiers with Albania and Latvia. "He embodies everything. He is a serial winner, his personality and character. He is the glue in every team that he has played, the glue that makes things special," Tuchel told ITV.
