Handled since last March in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers (in a group of five), England can make a four following during the reception of Andorra, this Saturday afternoon (6 p.m., live on the L'Equipe channel) at Villa Park (Birmingham). The Three Lions led by Thomas Tuchel remain precisely on a success only 1-0 against the Pyrenean principality, on June 7 in Barcelona, ​​on a goal from Harry Kane.
The featured captain is present at the forefront of the British training striker, supported by a trio made up of Noni Madueke, Eberechi Eze and Marcus Rashford. Tuchel is certainly deprived of Jude Bellingham, Buyako Saka, Cole Palmer and even Phil Foden in order to compose his team.
But starting Rashford of entry is particularly disappointing on the part of the German coach when he could give playing time to Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Anthony Gordon, Morgan Rogers, Morgan Gibbs-White or Jarrod Bowen. At 27, Rashford has sufficiently disappointed in a club as in a national team.
Tuchel DIY everywhere
Loaned by Manchester United to Barça, Marcus Rashford obviously has a hard time adapting to the blaugranas and the Liga, where the teams are curled even more than in Premier League. The striker was aligned from the start by his German coach (Hansi Flick this time) against Levante, two weeks ago, and was replaced from half time. The Spanish press even claims that FCB would think about returning the player to the Red Devils next January.
That said, Tuchel continues to seek the right formula even in defense. Marc Guéhi and Dan Burn (33) form the central hinge. In the absence of Trent Alexander-Arnold, Reece James logically starts on the right. Myles Lewis-Skelly is the left side in front of Tino Livramento. In the midfield, Declan Rice is accompanied by Elliot Anderson, the medium of Nottingham Forest.
The starting eleven: Pickford-James, Guehi, Burn, Lewis-Skelly-Anderson, Rice-Madueke, Eze, Rashford-Harry Kane.
