England have something to play for at Gillette Stadium on June 23, and Thomas Tuchel is making changes to get it. The England manager has named Marc Guehi and Djed Spence in his starting lineup for the Group L fixture against Ghana, with a place in the knockout rounds of the 2026 FIFA World Cup on the line.
What Tuchel is working with
England arrived in Foxborough, Massachusetts off the back of a 4-2 victory over Croatia on June 17, a result that announced their tournament intentions with some volume.
Guehi wasn’t in the starting XI for that opener. He came off the bench late in the match and, apparently, did enough to earn himself a place in the first eleven for the Ghana fixture.
Tuchel has been England’s head coach since January 2025, with his contract extended through UEFA Euro 2028 as recently as February 2026.
