Kyle Walker ‘set to start Thomas Tuchel’s first game in charge of England’

Thomas Tuchel will take the lead on his first match as an English boss on Friday evening in the Qualification Game of the Three Lions' opening World Cup against Albania in Wembley.

On Friday morning it was reported that Morgan Gibbs-White, Jarell Quansah and Aaron Ramsdale were omitted from Tuchel's inaugural Matchday team.

Now it is assumed that the former Chelsea manager Kyle Walker will re-insert into the starting XI, after the AC Milan was immediately used again by Trent Alexander-Arnold during the term of Lee Carsley as an interim boss.

Alexander-Arnold was not available for selection after an ankle injury that he sustained during the defeat of Liverpool's Penalty Shootout by PSG before the international break.

Walker beats Newcastle's Tino Livramento and Reece James from Chelsea for the starting back -back place, while the ex -Man City defender is approaching 100 senior caps for his nation, which is currently 93.

Marc Guehi, who was a permanent starter at Euro 2024, is expected to be relegated to the bank.

Guehi started one after all the match for England during the tournament last summer, and was only given to the victory of the three Lions' Penalty Shootout in Switzerland in the quarterfinals.

On Friday, however, it is expected that Tuchel prefers Levi Colwill and Ezri Konsa above the Crystal Palace Center Back.

On Thursday, prior to some fans hope the start of a successful regime, Tuchel delivered a damn assessment of the style of England under Gareth Southgate at Euro 2024.

Tuchel missed the ingredients and said: 'The identity, clarity, the rhythm, the repetition of patterns, the freedom of player, the expression of player, the hunger. They were more afraid to go out of the tournament in my observation than the excitement and hunger to win. '

About what he wants to come across from England, as they encounter on Friday evening and Latvia on Monday, Tuchel said: 'I want the opponents to see and see our team in the tunnel that they know, this seem to be for each other, they seem to be for each other, they seem to be good for each other. will be a difficult time.

'You can be sure that if I say something in a press conference, I have tackled it to the players. The players know my assessment (from Euro 2024) but this is not even tackled.

“It is being tackled” what I want now “. The message is in front. I felt that they were stopping – the group did not play with sufficient excitement and togetherness to make it happen. '

This year, England will be classified in the world cup qualification phase of this year as the No. 4 team in the world by FIFA.

Participate in Tuchel's side in Group K are Albania, Andorra, Latvia and Serbia.

The winner of the group will guarantee the automatic qualification for the World Cup 2026 in North America, while second place has to go through a different qualifying phase; The lower four teams are empty.

If England falls to Albania on Friday, Tuchel would only become the second permanent boss who loses his first game in the Dugout. In fact, the last 10 permanent bosses of England have not only avoided the defeat, but they all won their first games.

The run goes back to Graham Taylor in 1990, when his side hit Hungary in Hungary in Wembley.
