Ahead of England’s match against Ghana, sources report that head coach Thomas Tuchel plans to make his team selection decisions close to kick-off. The approach follows Tuchel’s established preference for finalizing line-ups on the day of the game, rather than announcing the team well in advance. At the World Cup, however, the reporting indicates he is leaving it later than usual, suggesting a continued focus on assessing late fitness, form, or other match-day considerations before confirming the starting XI and squad roles. Sky Sports notes that Tuchel’s tendency to “sleep on it” has long shaped how England approach selection, with the final call expected only shortly before the match. The details of any specific player availability or tactical changes are not included in the provided material, but the common theme across coverage is the timing of the decision: Tuchel intends to wait and then finalize the England team on match day.
