US Edition'Big Chance' for Leeds United's Dominic Calvert-Lewin Amid Harry Kane Absence, Says England Boss
Thomas Tuchel fields a largely experimental England squad as players compete for World Cup selection in a key friendly against Uruguay at Wembley.
- England hosts Uruguay at Wembley Stadium in a 7:45pm GMT friendly match on Friday, March 27, 2026. The fixture serves as the first of two crucial tests for head coach Thomas Tuchel before finalizing his World Cup squad.
- Tuchel has split his 35-man squad for this international window, resting 11 key players including captain Harry Kane and midfielder Declan Rice to manage heavy club workloads. This experimental group faces Uruguay tonight before the rested stars meet Japan on Tuesday.
- Fringe players like 33-year-old defender Harry Maguire hope to secure a spot in the final 26-man squad for this summer's tournament. Dominic Solanke and Dominic Calvert-Lewin also aim to impress in the absence of established starters.
- Prioritizing player fitness, Tuchel will not risk Jude Bellingham after the Real Madrid midfielder's recent hamstring injury. The manager aims to identify depth options as competition remains intense for places in his tournament roster.
- The Three Lions prepare to host Japan on Tuesday evening, following tonight's clash. These final friendlies are essential for finalizing the group ahead of the summer World Cup in USA, Canada, and Mexico.
