Tuchel’s makeshift England XI stumbles in a forgettable Wembley draw
Tuchel fielded a chemistry-free, makeshift England lineup at Wembley for a clash with Uruguay, resulting in a drab 1-1 draw that felt more like a trial than a match. Ben White scored but also conceded a soft penalty for Uruguay’s equaliser, while late substitute Adam Wharton offered some forward threat and Cole Palmer hinted at a possible upgrade. The night illustrated Tuchel’s fallibility at international level, the clash between Premier League club interests and national duty, and the reality that England’s depth isn’t as seamless as hoped ahead of the World Cup.
