Thomas Tuchel: England boss on 'embracing the chaos' ahead of Nations League fixtures

England manager Thomas Tuchel said he wants to “embrace the chaos” ahead of upcoming Nations League fixtures, while balancing it with control in his style. His latest squad for matches against Spain, the Czech Republic and Croatia includes Trent Alexander-Arnold and Cole Palmer returning, along with Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott and Newcastle left-back Lewis Hall—players chosen for their ability in possession. Tuchel also handed a first senior call-up to Liverpool winger Rio Ngumoha, and indicated Fulham attacker Josh King is close to joining him in that group. Tuchel suggested the goal is to play with more fluidity “for 10 minutes” while leaning into strengths shown in specific halves against Croatia and France. He also pushed back on claims that recalling Palmer and Alexander-Arnold reflected a mistake in his World Cup selection.
