England coach Thomas Tuchel was expected to avoid major defensive changes before the UEFA Nations League match against Czechia despite six straight games without a clean sheet. After a 3-2 loss to Spain, he said individual mistakes, rather than a recurring defensive pattern, had been the main issue.
Ezri Konsa and Nico O’Reilly were fitness doubts, but the report did not confirm either would miss the game. The Czechia match had not yet taken place when Tuchel spoke.
