Tuchel reveals which goalkeeper will start against Spain

Thomas Tuchel revealed James Trafford will start against Spain in England’s final Nations League clash against Spain.

Jordan Pickford has been England’s number one since the 2018 World Cup, but recently Tuchel has said that he and Trafford will share the role in the Nations League.

Pickford started the win against Croatia on Thursday and Tuchel was asked who will start in goal on Sunday.

“We want to try and see how far Traff is,” he explained. That hasn’t changed. So he gets a highly competitive match. We had some changes in the back four in the last match, so we went for more stability and more experience with Pickers. And Traff gets the match tomorrow.

“It’s only a football match, so hopefully he’s not too over-excited or overly nervous, because there’s no need to. We trust him.

“But it is different to play for England than to play for your club. And to have the opportunity to play matches where it really matters is the best way of course to show up, and to show that you’re ready, and for us also to see where he is.

“We know what Jordan can do for us. Jordan is at the moment our No1. I have a very clear picture in high-pressure moments. He played in tournaments and played for me in the World Cup. It’s a good goalkeeping group that we built there and they’re pushing themselves.”
