England is preparing for the World Cup in Florida, where they won their first warm-up match 1-0 against New Zealand in Tampa. Harry Kane scored the only goal, and Bellingham captained the team for the first time in the second half.

Tuchel has been pleased with Bellingham's recent form after his injury break. He said, "He looks good in training. I think he is at the moment in a good spot because he has had his break and has the hunger to be back on the pitch."

Tuchel has emphasized the importance of squad depth and flexibility ahead of the tournament. He believes several players can start, while others can be used to impact matches from the bench.

Tuchel announced that midfielder Declan Rice will serve as England's vice-captain during the World Cup. England will face Costa Rica in a friendly on Wednesday before starting their World Cup campaign against Croatia on June 17 in Dallas.
