SportFootballJamie CarragherEngland have faced issues within their squad at the 2026 World Cup with former Three Lions defender Jamie Carragher having criticised boss Thomas Tuchel for his selection callsJamie Carragher has torn into Thomas Tuchel’s ‘bizarre’ decision to call-up Trevoh Chalobah amid England’s right-back crisis. Speaking to Sky Sports, the Liverpool icon said: “This all just goes back to Thomas Tuchel's decisions around the right-back area.

He picked two very injury-prone players at right-back, he brought another right-back if you like, Djed Spence, but at left-back. He's not a right-back, so you're going to leave yourself short.”One solution that Tuchel potentially has is to start midfielder Declan Rice at right-back.

He added: “No, I wouldn't start Declan Rice at right-back.“Look, England have got a slim chance of going all the way in the World Cup, I don't think playing Declan Rice as the right-back from now until the end of the tournament would be the solution.“To be honest, I think you'd leave yourself so empty in midfield. I think a lot of the problems that arose in the last game were not so much the back four but how easy it was to get at the back four.“We know we haven't got an abundance of world class players defensively, now that's probably the weak area of our team, but there was a lot wrong with England in that first 20 minutes and how easy it was to get at the back four.”Join our new WhatsApp community and receive your daily dose of Mirror Football content.
