Apparently, the England head coach will be at the Club World Cuphe might already be there - to assess conditions in the United States ahead of next summer's serious tournament.

But if England's Under-21s squad overcomes the Netherlands and make it to the final of the Euros, Tuchel will, hopefully, be in Bratislava.

Considering he is a gun hired for 18 months, development teams are of limited concern to Tuchel.

While one or two of the U21s party in the semi-final will have a chance of making it to World Cup 2026 Tino Livramento the prime candidate the bulk of Tuchel's squad for next summer is probably settled.
