Konsa, Spence & Stones can play RB. As can Chalobah if he gets called up (+ CB). Tuchel will hope he can just play James there throughout anyways. Will not want to bring in a big name, I feel, because of the potential noise around 'why don't we start X' if performances are meh.
Fifa thank you for the 1 minute Injury law - thus if an outfield player goes down and receives medical treatment from the team physio on the pitch, they must remain off the field of play for a minimum of 60 seconds once play resumes.
The way it has reduced the time wasting tactics drastically is not talked about enough. Even now subs don’t take time again.
If Kylian Mbappé truly starts putting in the work off the ball like he says, his World Cup legacy will reach another level. Funny enough, it seems he’s finally taking notes from Dembélé. 👀🇫🇷

Tuchel should call up Lewis Hall to replace Livramento.
Shift Spence across to play as the back-up to Reece James.
If O’Reilly gets injured or needs a rest, England miss a left-footed option at left back.
Can always use Spence out there in more defensive circumstances too.

🚨🇪🇸 Luis de la Fuente after draw vs Cabe Verde: “When the ball does not want to enter… this can happen. But the World Cup is very long”.
“Remember, this is very very long”. 👀
Olise has Kane at club level & Mbappé + co. at international level..
Dembélé has a Doué, Kvara at club level & Mbappé + co. at international level.
Yamal has Ferran Torres at club level and Ferran Torres at international level.
I feel sorry for the guy.
Ayoub Bouaddi is one of the standout talents at the World Cup 🇲🇦
The Moroccan midfielder had an impressive debut vs Brazil (stood tall against Casemiro, Fabinho & Paquetá).
Lille tied him down until 2029, but Premier League clubs are now circling. Big summer ahead!
If you ever wanted a game that epitomises how valuable the superstar individual is over hive mind it is this Spain v Cape Verde game.
Yamal looks head and shoulders above his team mates as a threat. Even at this level, the tactic is essentially get it to your best player.
