Tuchel has tried to resurrect Rashford’s England career this year, but warned that the 27-year-old could still fail to fulfil his potential.

Thomas Tuchel plans to do things differently at next year's World Cup after guiding England to qualification with games to spare following the 5-0 thrashing of Latvia on Tuesday

England manager Thomas Tuchel has revealed how captain Harry Kane delivered a rousing speech to his team-mates after Tuesday's emphatic 5-0 win over Latvia in World Cup qualifying. Kane scored twice in the win as the Three Lions booked their place at World Cup 2026 with two games to spare.

The Aston Villa man then moved to centre-back against Latvia and was England's most assured defender, with his recovery tackle in the second half stopping the only real danger from the hosts. We all assumed the first-choice pairing would be John Stones and Marc Guehi, but Konsa clearly has other ideas - and he showed why.

England boss Thomas Tuchel has been accused of leaving Jack Grealish out of the Three Lions squad over a “personal” issue between the pair. Tuchel shocked fans when he left out Grealish, Jude Bellingham and Phil Foden out of his latest squad for matches against Wales and Latvia over the current international break.
