Tuchel promises England will 'take care' of FIFA Club World Cup-bound players before Andorra and Senegal
Thomas Tuchel has promised England will "take care" of their players set for the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, with a third of his squad set to feature at this year's tournament.
The German named his second party as Three Lions boss on Friday, ahead of a 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier with Andorra and a friendly with Senegal next month.
Several key faces in his team, including captain Harry Kane and midfielder Jude Bellingham, are expected to feature for their respective clubs in the United States only days after.
Speaking after the announcement of his team however, Tuchel hailed the revamped structure of an expanded tournament, live on DAZN, and promised to protect his stars.
"It is a massive tournament, a new one, a lot of travelling and it is very long," he said. "That is the calendar nowadays.
"I think once the players are there they will love and embrace the challenge to play against teams they have maybe never played before.
"The Club World Cup that I played in before was very different and maybe this will change perception. Let's see.
"It is not worth complaining, it is the schedule and we have to find the best solutions within the schedule for the players.
"Because I was in club football we will take care of the minutes of the players if we can. Spending time together was very important for us."
