Tuchel Faces England Questions as World Cup Countdown Begins

England, led by Thomas Tuchel, prepare to face Andorra at Villa Park on September 6 and Serbia in Belgrade on September 9 in World Cup qualifiers.
Tuchel inherited issues including sluggish attacking play and injuries, notably to Jude Bellingham, after an underwhelming start marked by a 3-1 friendly defeat to Senegal and a laboured 1-0 win over Andorra in June.
Tuchel's squad shows a new identity with surprise selections such as Ruben Loftus-Cheek, who returns after his last call-up in 2019, and Djed Spence earning his maiden call-up while Trent Alexander-Arnold was dropped.
England sits top of Group K with three wins, six goals scored, and no goals conceded, but Tuchel faces scepticism over tactics and defensive uncertainties while aiming to create enough chances for record goalscorer Harry Kane.
Tuchel must secure a comprehensive win over Andorra and a strong result in Serbia to restore confidence and keep England on track to end their 60-year major trophy drought at the 2026 World Cup.
