Thomas Tuchel, the German manager of England taking the reins from Gareth Southgate for this year’s competition, said he had not decided on his starting 11 for the team’s first game when asked following the warm-up yesterday.
Speaking to ITV, he said: “No. I will find now 11 for tomorrow’s game [against Miami FC, behind closed doors] and then I have another six days, I think.
“First of all we do a match tomorrow, another friendly match to get some minutes into the legs of the players who didn’t play so much today.
“And then the players get 1½ days off, switch off, switch off physically but also mentally. And then we change location, go to Kansas, and we’ll prepare for Croatia.”
