The big questions for Tuchel's first England squad since World Cup

Sixty-five days after England's semi-final defeat by Argentina, Thomas Tuchel will name his first squad since the World Cup on Friday. While the tournament ultimately ended with a spectacular 6-4 win over France in the bronze-medal match, the Three Lions left the United States with a long list of what ifs. Now, with four games in the space of 11 days coming up during the extended international break, fans will get a glimpse of what Tuchel's next England side might look like. Could players like Trent Alexander-Arnold be recalled? Will others like Alex Scott make their debut? And how might we expect them to play? sources senior football correspondent Sami Mokbel, journalist Jess Anderson and broadcaster Radio 5 Live's John Murray go through the big questions facing Tuchel. Are some of the players overlooked for the World Cup likely to return and which new names may feature? Sami Mokbel: Rio Ngumoha and Lewis Hall are among the players to have been named in England manager Thomas Tuchel's provisional squad for the forthcoming Nations League internationals, though it remains to be seen whether they make the final cut. Liverpool winger Ngumoha was part of a contingent of young players that flew with the England senior squad for their pre-World Cup training camp in Palm Beach. He was unexpectedly handed his debut in the warm-up game against New Zealand, impressing in a second-half cameo. But the 18-year-old is yet to be picked in a full senior England squad - although he is in with a chance of being selected by Tuchel for the forthcoming games against Spain, the Czech Republic and Croatia. Hall's World Cup omission raised eyebrows given England entered the tournament without a natural left-back. Before naming his full squad on Friday, Tuchel is required to submit a preliminary squad of players from which he will name his final party. It is understood Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott, Arsenal's Myles Lewis-Skelly and Everton's Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall are also among the names selected in Tuchel's extended list. Attacking duo Cole Palmer and Phil Foden are on there too, after being two of the biggest omissions from Tuchel's squad for the World Cup. That decision was deemed a mistake from certain circles, given they are two of English football's most creative players. Meanwhile, Tuchel is expected to omit Jordan Henderson, Dean Henderson and John Stones because of injury. Who is in the running to be back-up to Harry Kane? Jess Anderson: One of the most talked-about issues surrounding England is who they turn to in the absence of captain and star striker Harry Kane. At the World Cup, Tuchel simply did not turn to anyone. Kane started all seven of England's matches up to the semi-final and was substituted only twice - both times late on with the game already won. Kane was rested for the bronze-medal match, with Ivan Toney the preferred option, although the Al-Ahli striker did not score in the 6-4 win over France. Toney will not be an option this international break as he has since been charged with assault causing actual bodily harm and is due to appear in court later this month. Ollie Watkins' shock summer move to Saudi Arabia puts his England future into question, while Dominic Calvert-Lewin is the man in form with four goals in four games for Leeds United. This could be the moment for Tuchel to start to further integrate Liam Delap, who is improving at new club Nottingham Forest and has yet to make a senior England appearance. He scored his first goal for Forest in last weekend's win at Aston Villa. What can we expect from England? John Murray: In the immediate aftermath of the semi-final in Atlanta, Tuchel and the players spoke of being too passive. At the squad announcement it will be interesting to hear what conclusions Tuchel has reached on why that was the case, and how they came to surrender the initiative to Argentina from 1-0 up with just over half an hour to play. Head of the queue for a recall is Cole Palmer, who seems to have recaptured the form he was missing last season, which resulted in his omission from the World Cup squad. What England fans will want to see against Spain at Wembley, is Palmer and his like taking the initiative and imposing themselves on their opponents in a way that was so lacking in the latter stages against Argentina in July. Will England be happy they have such tough matches lined up? John Murray: Happy or not, that's what they've got - but this has to be better than ano
