Thomas Tuchel previews England's World Cup warm-up match against Japan. The German gave updates on the fitness of Arsenal trio Declan Rice, Bukayo Saka and Noni Madueke. TIMESTAMPS 00:00 Intro 00:13 Fitness of players that left? I thought you had the list already 00:30 Nothing for me to add as a coach, not a medical 00:49 Rice and Saka? Desperately wanted to play but made no sense to take the risk 01:20 All in discomfort, made no sense to stay 01:39 Madueke will be out for some days 02:00 Happy that Kane is back in camp 02:40 Withdrawals? Disappointed but not with the players, it’s the reality 03:25 There are players in camp that have already played more minutes than last season 04:20 Nobody left straightaway, they all want to be around the team 05:28 Stones? Gutted, made no sense to push him and make things worse 05:50 Stones still has a lot of credit in the bank with me but like everyone he has to be fit 06:55 I like the Japanese team, the culture - it’s an honour to play this friendly 08:06 Okazaki and Kagawa were both a pleasure to have in your team 08:36 I expect Japan to be a well-drilled team 10:05 Watched several Japan matches 11:48 I think Mitoma will start in number ten position, difficult to stop him 12:51 Japanese coaches? I visited Japan twice for football, the level was outstanding 14:15 Japan World Cup ambitions? It’s important to dream 15:22 Where are England compared to others? I don’t know, you can’t compare 15:40 We are happy with our camp, I like how we played 17:00 I have total belief 17:32 The question will be why not @HaytersTV – Football Up Close.
