The big questions for Tuchel's first England squad since World Cup

Sami Mokbel: Rio Ngumoha and Lewis Hall are among the players to have been named in England manager Thomas Tuchel's provisional squad for the forthcoming Nations League internationals, though it remains to be seen whether they make the final cut.

Liverpool winger Ngumoha was part of a contingent of young players that flew with the England senior squad for their pre-World Cup training camp in Palm Beach.

He was unexpectedly handed his debut in the warm-up game against New Zealand, impressing in a second-half cameo.

But the 18-year-old is yet to be picked in a full senior England squad - although he is in with a chance of being selected by Tuchel for the forthcoming games against Spain, the Czech Republic and Croatia.

Hall's World Cup omission raised eyebrows given England entered the tournament without a natural left-back.

Before naming his full squad on Friday, Tuchel is required to submit a preliminary squad of players from which he will name his final party.

It is understood Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott, Arsenal's Myles Lewis-Skelly and Everton's Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall are also among the names selected in Tuchel's extended list.

Attacking duo Cole Palmer and Phil Foden are on there too, after being two of the biggest omissions from Tuchel's squad for the World Cup.

That decision was deemed a mistake from certain circles, given they are two of English football's most creative players.

Meanwhile, Tuchel is expected to omit Jordan Henderson, Dean Henderson and John Stones because of injury.

Sami Mokbel: This will be a key theme to watch over the next three weeks. The spirit was high in the England camp during the World Cup - as evidenced by their brilliant victory against Mexico in the last 16 with 10 men.

But the devastating semi-final defeat by Argentina, and questions over England's approach as a 1-0 lead became a 2-1 loss late on, led to some form of an inquest in the England camp into what was to blame.

Away from the height of those emotions in July, the Football Association is completing a review into England's World Cup campaign. The FA has been keen to stress that this assessment is a standard process, rather than an indication of wider concern or alarm about England's third-place finish.

Indeed, key figures at the FA view the tournament in which England achieved their best finish since 1966 as a success, and the organisation has already backed Tuchel before the Euro 2028 qualifying campaign.

Tuchel and members of his backroom team gave their contributions to the review at St George's Park in late August. England players' opinions are also being gathered before a report is presented to senior bosses at the FA.

The ongoing review will also look into the impact of the team's permanent Kansas City base during the tournament. After every game, they returned to Kansas City - and the effects of the travelling will be analysed.

The content of the review won't be made public, but the next three weeks will give an indication of whether the camp is still as together as that night at the Azteca.
