Story summary

Thomas Tuchel, England's national team manager, revealed an injury scare involving Lewis Hall ahead of their recent match against Spain. Despite Hall's absence due to the injury scare, Nico O'Reilly, a Manchester City player, was substituted in at left-back but struggled defensively and contributed indirectly to Alex Baena scoring for Spain. Tuchel noted that Hall had been out of training earlier in the week and opted not to risk his participation despite him training well by matchday's end. With several matches remaining before the international break concludes, Tuchel assured Hall will have opportunities to compete for a starting spot moving forward. England is set to face Czechia next on Tuesday evening in Prague.
