WALKING THE TALK IS UP AND RUNNING

ENGLAND v WALES Friendly: 7.45pm, STV

Tuchel is trying to build team spirit, a club mentality and a strong dressing room.

Former England star Steven Gerrard talked about egos causing rifts when he played for his country, namely the Liverpool and Manchester United cliques. That is what Tuchel is trying to avoid this time.

But there was a strong vibe around St George's Park when the players did an indoor session on Monday, suggesting a healthy bond is already in evidence between the players.

There were laughs, a very obvious togetherness and a good spirit. That is not to say Bellingham or Foden would spoil that - or even add to it.
