Thomas Tuchel promotes England star with zero Premier League appearances to first-team training

Thomas Tuchel has promoted the son of a Premier League star to England first team training ahead of their clash with Uruguay at Wembley on Friday.

England will play their first of three currently scheduled matches ahead of the World Cup on Friday, with clashes with Japan and Costa Rica following Friday's outing against Uruguay.

Tuchel's side breezed through World Cup qualification without conceding a goal, and will be hoping to carry that form into the upcoming international friendlies.

The German named a surprise 35-man squad for this camp, aiming to get a look at as many players as possible ahead of the World Cup squad announcement.

However, as well as the likes of James Garner and Jason Steele, there was another new face as the England squad trained on the Wembley pitch on Thursday with Tye Hall getting the call up.

Hall, who is the son of former Crystal Palace and QPR defender Fitz, has been extremely impressive this season captaining Spurs' u18 side.

The decision to add Hall to training is largely due to numbers and help Tuchel run his sessions with the first-team efficiently, however, also offers the 18-year-old a huge chance to impress.

Hall has made a major impression at Spurs this season, and was named on the bench for the first time for the club's Champions League victory over Eintracht Frankfurt back in January.

The teenager joined the North London club as a seven year old, and penned his first professional deal in 2024, with an extension being signed earlier this year.

Hall hasn't been the only member of the England youth squads to get the call up to first team training, with Man United's Ayden Heaven joining a session earlier this week.
