THOMAS TUCHEL GIVES PRESS CONFERENCE AHEAD OF ENGLAND VS URUGUAY FRIENDLY

Thomas Tuchel gives a pre-match press conference ahead of England’s international friendly against Uruguay at Wembley Stadium. Tuchel explains why Ben White was recalled and Trent Alexander-Arnold was left out, says this is the last camp before World Cup selection, and stresses that there are many ways for players to impress beyond just the match itself.
He also discusses Noni Madueke’s competition with Bukayo Saka, compares Phil Foden and Cole Palmer, weighs up Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Dominic Solanke as options around Harry Kane, and expects a physical, high quality test against Marcelo Bielsa’s Uruguay as England try to re-establish their patterns of play.

England will face Uruguay in a friendly tonight at Wembley on Friday 27 March, with kick-off at 7.45pm, as part of their World Cup preparations. The match will be broadcast live on ITV1 and available to stream on ITV X.
