England boss Thomas Tuchel holds talks over shock call-up: report
Briefly

Thomas Tuchel is set to begin his tenure as the new England manager next month, following Gareth Southgate's resignation after Euro 2024. His first official games will be during the 2026 World Cup qualifying campaign against Albania and Latvia. In preparation, Tuchel has been attending games and reaching out to players, including Arsenal's Ben White, who has been away from the national team since 2022. Tuchel aims to create a fresh start for White and has expressed his intent to ensure clarity and focus moving forward.
As is always the case with a new England boss, all eyes will be on Tuchel's maiden selection, with the German having spent these first few weeks of his tenure attending live games and also reaching out to players.
Tuchel confirmed he would be reaching out to the 27-year-old Ben White saying, 'I will reach out to him... It should be clean and a clean start...'
England's Thomas Tuchel era is set to get underway next month, when the new Three Lions boss takes to the Wembley dugout for the first time.
England's 2026 World Cup qualifying campaign begins with a home doubleheader against Albania and Latvia next month, meaning Tuchel's first squad is due in the next couple of weeks.
