England manager Thomas Tuchel is set to name a strong squad on Friday, and is unlikely to make deals with clubs despite a heavily congested end of season schedule.

Sources have told BBC Sport the England boss will not offer guarantees to Premier League managers on workload as he wants to work with as many players as possible, for as long as possible.

Tuchel stressed before victories over Latvia and Albania in March that he has a total of just 60 days and 24 sessions with his squad before the 2026 World Cup begins.

The German manager was brought in to replace Gareth Southgate with a remit to win the tournament.
