Thomas Tuchel felt England football team’s “biggest danger” against Spain was themselves but remains confident in his defence ahead of a trip to the Czech Republic football that he says is too early to be considered “must-win”.

The World Cup bronze medallists returned to action 10 weeks after their Stateside efforts in Saturday’s helter-skelter 3-2 defeat to the world and European champions at sold-out Wembley.

England produced some exciting moments in the Nations League opener, but mistakes were compounded by problems under pressure that brought back some memories of the semi-final collapse to Argentina.

Tuchel admits the loss to Spain “puts a bit of pressure” on England but is “nothing we can’t handle” ahead of facing Czechia, who are ranked 49th in the world, in Prague.
