Latvia vs England: Team news

England could have a bit of a striker crisis.

Ollie Watkins, who started and scored against Wales, has been ruled out of this match through injury.

Harry Kane didn’t feature in that friendly due an ankle issue, but Tuchel was hopeful he would be able to play this evening.

If not, Marcus Rashford, Jarrod Bowen or Anthony Gordon would likely lead the line.

From the win over Wales, Myles Lewis-Skelly and Reece James are the most likely to come in for Djed Spence and Ezri Konsa.

Latvia vs England: What has been said?

England easily beat Wales on Thursday, but after taking an early 3-0 lead, the game and the atmosphere died.

And after the match, Tuchel demanded more from the supporters.

He said: “I love English football and I love English football fans and the support they give, but I think the atmosphere did not match the performance on the field.

“We had excellent support in Serbia, but [here] we were 3-0 up after 20 minutes, we had ball win after ball win after ball win and I felt like why is the roof still on the stadium? That’s just it, it’s nothing big.

“We will do everything again to be infectious, there’s no problem. I’m sure we will get everyone going – it is on us. But tonight I was a little underwhelmed.”

In a further interview, he described the crowd as ‘silent’.

He said: “I think the players delivered a lot to get more from the stands.

“The stadium was silent. Silent. We never got any energy back from the stands.

 “It was difficult to keep everything going in the second half. We did excellent, we deserved to win.”
