England manager Thomas Tuchel said players and clubs would not be allowed to pick which matches to skip during the extended Nations League window. After a 3-2 loss to Spain, he wants a full-strength approach for the trip to Czechia in Prague, while acknowledging that unchanged lineups across several games may be impractical.
Tuchel said Declan Rice was rested because of his workload and fitness issues. Medical staff will monitor Jude Bellingham rather than put him at risk. These are pre-match intentions, not a confirmed starting XI.
