Tuchel: I believe Kane will return against Latvia and I’m glad Stones is back in training camp

October 9th, in an international football friendly match in the early morning of Friday, England will play against Wales. At the press conference before this game, England coach Tuchel talked about the team's preparations and also answered some questions that fans and the media were very concerned about.

About Kane's injury

Kane will miss this game. He was injured in Bayern's most recent game. He was in a lot of pain playing football and was at high risk of getting injured again, so we decided to let him rest and let things calm down. We believe he will return against Latvia. The captain will be chosen between Henderson, Stones and Rice.

About Stones' return to the team roster

I am very happy that Stones can return to the training camp. Last time he only participated in half of the training camp and had to leave. I saw how disappointed and sad he was at the time. He is a thoughtful man, very intelligent and sensitive.

It's great to have Stones in training camp, he is the same as Kane, Henderson, Rice and others. Their attitude towards training and as professionals and team members is of the highest standard. The performance of these guys in training camp is contagious and everyone improves because of it because they won't accept less than their level, which is the highest level.

About picking the squad

We have a lot of good players to choose from, which is a good thing. We have a strong lineup, and for this training camp we mainly selected players who performed well last time.

Now that we have had some injuries, we cannot use the same 11 players to play against Serbia because four starting players are already missing, so there will naturally be some changes. But we believe in the team we are building, in what we feel and what we see. As I said, there is a lot of competition for places in the team.

About the game against Wales

If the same lineup was available, we might start the game with the same lineup, but unfortunately not tomorrow. This is also another problem for which we need to find other solutions.

We only have a short time to prepare for this game because I think it will be a difficult and complicated game. We will face a very good team with a brave way of playing. They take full advantage of being the underdog and excel in that role.

On England's desire to win

I can't guarantee any results, but I know how we want to play and I know the level we showed in the last game is something we can achieve. We will have some changes tomorrow and I hope we can play at the level we deserve. Our goal tomorrow is to win and we have to keep going and see if we can achieve that.
