Thomas Tuchel will name his penultimate England squad before the World Cup on Friday
When Thomas Tuchel names his England squad for the two March friendlies on Friday it will give a major hint as to who will be on the plane for this summer's World Cup.
England cruised through qualifying with a perfect record of eight wins out of eight and Tuchel largely used a settled XI as he focused on building a club feel within his squad, which could be away in the USA for the best part of two months.
But with seven of the XI - Jordan Pickford, Reece James, Ezri Konsa, Declan Rice, Elliot Anderson, Bukayo Saka and Harry Kane - near enough nailed on to start, there are still some dilemmas for the England boss to work through before the first World Cup group game against Croatia.
Tuchel will reveal his squad for the matches against Uruguay on 27 March and Japan on 31 March on Friday at 11:00 GMT.
