Thomas Tuchel takes the lead for 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.
And the German manager has appointed Kyle Walker in his very first three lions who start XI.
The AC Milan defender won the fierce competition from Newcastle's Tino Livramento and Chelsea's Reece James to claim the starting back -back place against Albania.
Walker, 34 comes with 100 senior caps for his nation, with the start of today 94.
Marcus Rashford also returns to the three Lions team and earns his first international start since November 2023 after a revival in shape since he made the switch from Manchester United to Aston Villa.
Six days of his heroism against Liverpool in the Carabao Cup Dan Burn is also included in Tuchel's first XI and therefore earns the first international cap ever, as Myles Lewis-Skelly Inclion also sees the 18-year-old his English debut tonight.
Marc Guehi, who was a permanent starter for England at Euro 2024, was banned 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.
Instead, Tuchel chooses Ezri Konsa from Aston Villa over the Crystal Palace Center.
Prior to what fans hope, Tuchel will be a successful government, Tuchel delivered a damn assessment of the style of England among predecessor Gareth Southgate on 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.
