Thomas Tuchel is preparing for his first away game as England manager, as the team faces Andorra in a World Cup qualifier on June 7. While initially expected to be held at Andorra’s new stadium in Encamp, delays may force the match to be relocated to Espanyol’s 40,000-capacity RCDE Stadium in Barcelona.

This move would allow more England fans to attend and generate higher revenue for Andorra. Tuchel’s England tenure started positively with a 2-0 win against Albania. However, the German manager expressed concerns about England’s performance, particularly the lack of effective passing to wingers Marcus Rashford and Phil Foden.

On the other hand, he praised Jude Bellingham’s creativity and readiness to take responsibility, labeling him as a key player for the team. England’s next qualifier against Latvia on Monday night will be Tuchel’s second match in charge as he aims to continue his winning start.
