The 10 (not entirely serious…) right-back options Thomas Tuchel should consider

They may be more of an infamous five than a famous five. Reece James , Jarell Quansah , Djed Spence , Declan Rice and Ezri Konsa are the quintet to play at right-back in this World Cup for England. Four games, five right-backs , perhaps only one of them with a genuinely preferred position of right-back... And given that Tino Livramento was in the original squad and Ben White might have been but for injury, there could have been still others. But if Thomas Tuchel needs a sixth right-back of the World Cup for the upcoming trip to Mexico’s Azteca Stadium, who should he choose? Allow me to present the options... (In no particular order) Harry Kane: Anything England ask of him, the captain obliges. Harry Kane does whatever is asked of him by England but might be slightly confused to be playing at right-back (The FA via Getty Images) Dan Burn: Technically not a right-back, but largely unoccupied during the matches before he reverts to bringing the vibes to the England camp. Aaron Wan-Bissaka: England-born right-back who has played well in an England game in this World Cup. Democratic Republic of Congo international. Matty Cash: England-born Europa League-winning right-back, and more recently than Spence. Poland international. Sir Alf Ramsey: Former England right-back (and World Cup-winning manager, eh Thomas...) who has proven he can irritate Mexicans during a World Cup, largely by trying to import industrial quantities of tinned and canned British food in 1970. Sir Alf Ramsey could be the answer England need (Getty) Philipp Lahm: World Cup-winning captain who was deemed one of the world’s best right-backs for a decade. Would be perfect were he not retired. And German. Bob Crompton: One of England’s finest right-backs, admired for his professionalism and consistent excellence. The ideal solution, had he not died 85 years ago. Keir Starmer : Veteran full-back who has been criticised for paying insufficient attention to defence but who will soon have plenty more time to concentrate on football. Keir Starmer is looking for a new job... (Getty Images) Kemi Badenoch: Operates some way to the right of Starmer and thinks she can do a better job than him. Trent Alexander-Arnold: Don’t be ridiculous. So there we have it. Plenty of good options available, Mr Tuchel.
