Tuchel warns: Manchester City's sanction dominates the Three Lions' training camp

England's head coach Thomas Tuchel confirmed, during the pre‑Nations League press conference, that Manchester City's sanction for Premier League financial violations has become an important topic in the Three Lions' camp.

Reactions from players and staff

Tuchel explained that the players, including those from Manchester City, talk about it briefly but are ready to take the field tomorrow. He added that he does not want to be “the voice” on this issue, leaving space for the players themselves.

Manchester City defender Nico O'Reilly has returned to the club for treatment after an injury, while teammates Elliot Anderson and Marc Guehi are expected to be available for Saturday's match. Tuchel listed Guehi as a “very likely starter”.

The news had been previewed last Friday by The Athletic and confirmed on Tuesday by a Premier League statement, a few hours before England's victory over the Czech Republic.

The case then saw further development, with Manchester City filing an appeal against the verdict, keeping the discussion alive among the Three Lions.
