Tuchel makes one change to England squad for Czechia clash

Tuchel makes one change to England squad for Czechia clash Thomas Tuchel has replaced Nico O’Reilly with Rio Ngumoha in England’s squad to face Czechia in Tuesday’s UEFA Nations League match at Fortuna Arena, according to the Mirror . O’Reilly missed Monday’s training due to injury and has not recovered in time to make the trip to Prague. Lewis Hall and Myles Lewis-Skelly are options to replace the Manchester City youngster in the starting line-up. Ngumoha was left out for the Three Lions’ defeat to Spain. He is now in line to make his senior competitive debut after making his bow in June’s friendly win over New Zealand. Tuchel rates the 18-year-old highly, with the England boss ‘very excited about his potential and about his natural courage and adventurous style of play.’ The Liverpool youngster is unlikely to start against Czechia with Anthony Gordon, Morgan Rogers, Eberechi Eze and Morgan Gibbs-White ahead of him for the wide attacking positions. Ngumoha will be hoping to get a chance as he seeks to break into England’s starting XI before the 2028 European Championship. Meanwhile, Ezri Konsa has shaken off his fitness concerns to make the trip to Czechia, having missed Monday’s training. The Arsenal centre-back has been a regular under Tuchel, featuring in every game at the World Cup and in the defeat to Spain. England are aiming to avoid another slow start to their Nations League campaign and will look to secure a victory at Czechia. They will next travel to Croatia this Saturday before hosting Czechia at Wembley next Tuesday.
