After progressing past Norway to reach the World Cup semi-finals, England have had a few days to prepare for one of the biggest games in their history against Argentina.
And Tuchel has had several selection headaches heading into the game, particularly at right-wing, right-back and centre-midfield.
This is because Reece James and Morgan Rogers have shone off the bench and arguably deserve a chance to start, while Noni Madueke and Bukayo Saka have struggled on the right flank.
Also, Declan Rice has clearly been struggling at this World Cup, and he had to be taken off at half-time against Norway due to illness and a muscle issue.
However, Rice has been in full training in the past couple of days and was declared fit enough to start, with David Ornstein reporting that Morgan Rogers will be coming into the team to start on the right ahead of Madueke.
Ornstein said on X: ‘Morgan Rogers set to start on right for England in #FIFAWorldCup semi-final v #Argentina. Opportunity would see 23yo Aston Villa forward rewarded after impact off bench against Norway & form for #AVFC + #England across Thomas Tuchel reign.’
Shortly later, journalist Alex Crook revealed England’s ‘expected’ starting XI against Argentina, with Rogers to be their only change.
Crook said on X: ‘Expected England 11:
