Diary

Monday, 5 May 2025 - Thomas Tuchel faces a dilemma over releasing his players early next month before the FIFA Club World Cup. The game at the City Ground on 10 June takes place just four days before the club tournament starts in the United States. Players from Manchester City, Chelsea, Bayern München, Real Madrid and Atlético Madrid could all be selected in Tuchel's squad for the international double-header. Clubs involved in the tournament are eager for the Football Association to release players after the Andorra game but, as things stand, it is understood Tuchel is minded to keep his squad together for the Senegal friendly. The FA is to hold further meetings when its stance regarding Club World Cup players will be confirmed. Tuchel told his players they only have a minimal period working together before next summer's World Cup. Tuchel and the FA's decision over releasing players could impact as many as twelve players. Should all players remain with the England squad, Chelsea could be the worst hit. Teams competing at the Club World Cup are required to arrive no later than three days before their opening tie. Speaking in March, Tuchel hinted towards his reluctance to do favours for club managers saying: "I take care of the players. We take care about the schedule. But it would be the wrong signal to tell players now 'hey, you have tough matches coming up so I rest you now'. We do what's good for us. We monitor them, we are in contact with the clubs, we are in high-level monitoring where the statuses are known and we won't take any unprofessional risks. Because first of all I feel responsible for the players. I don't want the player to be injured. So this is where it is and in the end we take care of ourselves and the clubs take care of themselves, and the main focus is taking care of the players. I experienced it many, many times in clubs that players from South American countries don't even think about dropping one minute because they want to play for their country, they're proud to play for their country. This is also something that we have to understand and accept. I always accepted it as a club manager. I never got involved in line-ups. I never pushed any national coach because I was hoping that my players get picked. I was also hoping that they are proud to play."

Friday, 23 May 2025, 10am - Former Brentford striker Ivan Toney has been recalled to the squad for next months matches. It is his first call-up since his move to Saudi Arabia last summer. Making the last of his six appearances in the Euro 2024 final defeat to Spain. There are also returns for Trent Alexander-Arnold, Conor Gallagher, Noni Madueke, Bakayo Saka and Ollie Watkins, who all receive their first call-up under Tuchel.
There is also a first call-up to the England squad for Chelsea's 25 year old centre back Trevoh Chalobah. However, Manchester City's Phil Foden misses out because of an ankle injury and 'off-field' issues. Marcus Rashford is suffering with a hamstring injury that curtailed his Aston Villa season, and Marc Guéhi, who suffered an eye injury in the Palace's FA Cup final victory last weekend. His Palace team-mate, Adam Wharton, has been called into the under-21 squad, as they pursue European Championship glory, along with Liverpool's Jarell Quansah and Newcastle's Tino Livramento. West Ham's Jarrod Bowen misses out, as does Dominic Solanke and Aaron Ramsdale.

Sunday, 1 June 2025 - The squad arrive in Barcelona for their training camp in Girona. Also included is Manchester City's John Stones, who will spend the next couple of days in camp to continue his rehabilitation from injury. However, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Declan Rice, Ezri Konsa and Anthony Gordon all arrived later.
Upon arrival, they attend the Formula One motor racing event at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya.

Monday, 2 June 2025 - England are using heated tents as part of training to replicate the conditions they could experience at the World Cup in the USA, Canada and Mexico next year. As part of the training camp the England head coach and the FA performance staff will look at how players cope in the extremely hot and humid conditions they could face at the World Cup. Players will carry out fitness tests inside the tents on exercise bikes, in temperatures they could be expected to face during the tournament, and their recovery will be analysed. Tuchel said he expects his players to "suffer" in the tournament's conditions and he will travel to the Club World Cup this summer in the United States to assess the conditions. "It is important to see matches now in America, and in Miami at three in the afternoon. I will see that. How it looks, and we need to understand how to cool the players down, to drink. What our options are. Let's see because it is after the season, so it will be very similar. The actual experience is for the players, but I have done pre-season there in Orlando and I will be very surprised if we do not suffer. Suffering is one of the headlines for this World Cup." There have been warnings that the temperatures at 14 of the 16 stadiums being used for the 2026 World Cup could exceed 'potentially dangerous levels' during the tournament. In host city Dallas, in an average year more than 80% of June and July days exceed 28C.

Friday, 6 June 2025 - Arsenal forward Bukayo Saka has been left out of the matchday squad that will face Andorra. Atletico midfielder Conor Gallagher and Villa striker Ollie Watkins have also been left out, with Watkins returning to his club with a minor injury. Saka has only completed one full training session during the week. Watkins returns as a precaution.

Saturday, 7 June 2025 - Andorra 0 England 1 - Harry Kane scored the only goal as England overcame a stubborn Andorra side to continue their unbeaten start to qualification for the 2026 World Cup. Thomas Tuchel had warned supporters they may need patience as theyattempted to break down a well-organised home defence - and that prediction proved correct. His side were jeered off at the break as they failed to find the net in the first half against opponents ranked 173rd in the world. After a laboured first-half display, England took the lead five minutes into the second half through captain Kane, but failed to secure the comfortable win many expected. The Bayern Munich striker was found in the box by Curtis Jones and, when his initial effort was saved by Iker Alvarez, the ball fell to Noni Madueke who swept a low cross into the six-yard-box for Kane to tap in. Tuchel named an attacking side for this match and played Liverpool midfielder Jones in an unfamiliar right-back role and Reece James at left-back as he looked to take advantage of his side's dominance of the ball. However, that plan did not pay off as a frustrated England struggled to create clear-cut openings in Barcelona against Andorra, who fought defiantly but were limited. Jude Bellingham and Madueke were restricted to long-range shots, which Alvarez saved well, and substitute Eberechi Eze went close with a second-half header that was tipped over the bar.

Sunday, 8 June 2025 - The squad have returned to England and have set up camp at St. George's Park, where they resume training.

Monday, 9 June 2025 - 24 of the 25 players are out training at St. George's Park. Jude Bellingham is the only player missing, as he is attending a family funeral. He is expected to return before the end of the day.

Tuesday, 10 June 2025 - England slumped to their first defeat under Thomas Tuchel as Senegal secured a fully deserved victory in the friendly at the City Ground. Tuchel's side laboured badly throughout and were second best to impressive opposition, who became the first African team to beat England's men. A frustrating night actually began well for them as they took the lead after seven minutes when captain Harry Kane pounced for his 73rd England goal. That came after goalkeeper Edouard Mendy failed to hold Anthony Gordon's shot, but it was as good as it got for England, who were sunk by goals from Ismaila Sarr, Habib Diarra and Cheikh Sabaly. Dean Henderson, in for regular keeper Jordan Pickford, was kept busy as the hosts struggled away from their usual Wembley base, and Senegal drew level five minutes before the break when Kyle Walker switched off to allow Sarr to steal in at the far post. It was the first goal England had conceded under Tuchel in four games, and Senegal probed England's defensive vulnerability throughout. The visitors got the lead their dominance merited when Diarra exploited space behind England's defence to beat Henderson, firing through his legs at the near post just after the hour. England went in search of an equaliser, with Mendy making amends for his earlier error by producing fine saves from substitute Morgan Gibbs-White and Bukayo Saka. Tuchel's side also had a late strike from Jude Bellingham ruled out for handball against Levi Colwill after a video assistant referee intervention. But Senegal wrapped up the win in the dying seconds of stoppage time when substitute Curtis Jones lost possession, allowing Sabaly to finish England off with a cool finish, sparking an angry reaction from the home supporters who remained inside the City Ground. England had 15 wins and six draws from their previous 21 matches against African opponents, but here they were well beaten in the end.
