[Saba Sports News] According to British media reports, England coach Thomas Tuchel plans to call up players participating in the FIFA Club World Cup for training sessions, not giving them special consideration due to the Club World Cup. Reports state that England will play two games next month, a World Cup qualifier against Andorra and a friendly against Senegal. The friendly against Senegal is only four days before the start of the Club World Cup. Initially, it was expected that England players participating in the Club World Cup would not participate in the friendly against Senegal. However, Tuchel prefers to keep them fully integrated into the squad for training. Tuchel has yet to make a final decision, and further discussions will take place. This may affect around 12 players. Chelsea has Cole Palmer and Reece James, Manchester City has Phil Foden, and there are Jude Bellingham, Harry Kane, Conor Gallagher, among others, who might be impacted. Teams must arrive in the U.S. three days before the start of their first Club World Cup match. Bayern Munich starts on June 15th, Chelsea on June 16th, and Real Madrid and Manchester City on June 18th.
