Sports Sky ‘ The team of football writers analyzes the main points of the conversation after Thomas Tuchel named his first team as manager of England.
Tuchel believes in Rashford Revived
Without favor at Manchester United without any visible streets outside the club, Marcus Rashford appeared in limbo just a few weeks ago. His return to England Fold, after a productive start of borrowing in Aston Villa, meets a rapid change of fate for the 27-year-old.
He has been facilitated in action gradually by UNAI Emery in Villa, starting only four matches of a nine possible, but his help against the Brugge club in midweek was his fourth in just 461 minutes on the field. Thomas Tuchel has apparently seen enough to believe that he can return to his best. His call ends one year in international exile.
The planning of the England manager is of course directed to the World Cup 2026 and Rashford is certainly the origin of the tournament it has presented in the previous two publications. In Qatar, he was under use, scoring three goals in just 137 minutes. It is a option that changes the game. Now he has another chance to show him on the international stage.

Prospects of Grealish Grealis after Issuing
While Rashford celebrates a return to the squad, Jack Grealish remained looking from the outside. The winger was a prominent performer in September and October camps under Lee Carsley, impressing the No 10 role in Games against the Republic of Ireland and Finland, but the injury forced him to leave the team in November and his minutes were dried up in Manchester City afterwards.
Grealish has not started a Premier League match since a 2-1 loss to his former club Aston Villa on December 21. A player fiercely removed from the Gareth Southgate team for Euro 2024 now has a fight in his hands to turn himself into strife for the other big tour. For now, his prospects do not look good.

Tuchel relying on experience
Tuchel has achieved an excellent balance between offering young and promising talent as Myles Lewis-Skelly AND Tioo livramento An opportunity in the old team and relying on experience.
Jordan Henderson Makes a return to the three lions squad, just less than a year since he was last involved with the national team.
Kyle Walker It also preserves its place as it impressed since sharing the ways with Man City for AC Milan in January.
Tuchel’s plans look clear. He has only signed a short -term agreement with England and profit of the World Cup in 2026 is the objective. To do this, he needs a combination of experience on the international stage and exciting talents to see them in line.
Henderson does not often catch the titles with his play style, but his return is a big call from Tuchel, who was clearly amazed to travel to the Netherlands to see him in action for Ajax.

Injured young people lose the chance to impress
Tuchel will take a look at a large part of England’s harvest during this international window, but not all. Maybe missing Bukayo from It is unfair, such is his apparent choice for any big tour, but among the injured are promising young men Kobbie Mainoo, Lewis Hall AND Call Maduyke. Everyone is in a shout if they continue to perform for their clubs from now and the next summer.
Trent Alexander-Arnold is surely a shoo -in as it is John StonesBut they are not even available to Tuchel on this occasion. The record of Stones’ injuries is a concern – he has lost many more games than he has played this season and has reached only six Premier League starts for Man City, 545 minutes in total league. Luke Shaw’s Damage problems are just as well documented.
There is a lot of time for those who have a concern for fitness to play their way, though Tuchel must hit the ground by running immediately and forming an alliance with those players he thinks he can believe. Germany has received only six windows before the start of the World Cup to inform its final choice.

Pressure to Foden to impress
Phil’s leg He has squeezed his way into this team of England, but the pressure is to impress Tuchel.
Last season season player last season has seen his performance levels massively plunge into the current campaign. Seven goals in 23 higher flight outflows represent a portion of the quality he was showing in 2023/24.
This is partly due to the battles of Man City this season, but Foden has rarely hit the same heights for the national team, even when he is at the maximum in local football, with only four goals in his 43 exits for England.
Injuries in Saka and Madueke have eased his way to Tuchel’s first team, but if he fails to give this opportunity, he is in danger of abandoning international appearance.

Watkins added to the injury list?
Aston Villa Forward and England’s Euro 2024 hero Ollie watkins It’s a bright release from the team – but its latest Villa’s exit can explain why.
Emery discovered after a 3-0 win over the Brugge club that Watkins had sought to be replaced in half because he “did not feel good” after catching a little injury.
The severity of the return has not yet been determined, but, at the expense of Watkins, Tottenham Solarian Take the knot from tuchel to operate as implicit in the squad after only returning from a knee injury last weekend.
Jarrod Bowen And Rashford can both play in the middle, but their strengths stay wide, leaving England with only two well -known attackers in Tuchel’s first team.

Rogers rewarded for consistency
Morgan rogers Gains his first full call and is deserved. Aston Villa midfielder benefited from some withdrawal of damage to the November camp and was drafted as a reserve, featuring both matches against Greece and Ireland.
But a continuation of his excellent form for Villa means that he is from the beginning this time. Twelve goals and seven assists – including 11 goals in the Premier League – means he is one of the most midfield options in the form of England.
His combined game is also great, and he is often involved in the phase of building the villa goals, if not directly involved in the score. His creativity should serve Harry Kane well

Lewis-Skelly Answer to England’s problems on the left?
A girl call to Arsenal defender Myles Lewis-Skelly – Can that answer be on the left for the foreseeable future?
England has wept for someone to fill the void in the role for some time now and with shaw still to return from damage, Ben chillwell reviving his career at Crystal Palace and Lewis Hall To rule for the remainder of the season through damage, Lewis-Skelly has the perfect chance to strengthen his role in the team.
Even without injuries, you can argue that it is the obvious solution. The 18-year-old has been a discovery for Arsenal in his progress campaign and regularly exhibits talent beyond his years-it works out some mistakes in concentration and discipline.
He has made 25 appearances for gunners this season, which have included six appearances to the Champions League. Now is the time for the international scene.
