Tuchel to Give Stones Every Chance to Make England's World Cup Squad
England manager Thomas Tuchel has expressed his intention to give injured defender John Stones every opportunity to be included in the national team's World Cup squad. Despite Stones' recent calf problem, which forced him to withdraw from the squad ahead of the friendly match against Uruguay, Tuchel considers him a 'key player' and believes he has 'a lot of credit in the bank.' However, Tuchel emphasized that Stones must be fit to be considered for the squad. The England manager's comments come as the team prepares to face Japan in a friendly match on Tuesday, with several players, including Declan Rice and Bukayo Saka, returning to their clubs due to injuries. Tuchel acknowledged the challenges posed by injuries but remains optimistic about his team's chances, saying they will have a 'strong team' for the match against Japan.
