England travel to Prague on Tuesday night to face the Czech Republic in the Nations League, with Thomas Tuchel’s men desperate to bounce back from their opening defeat. The Three Lions kicked off their League A Group 3 campaign with a 3-2 loss to World Cup winners Spain at Wembley on Saturday, a game in which Anthony Gordon and Harry Kane scored but defensive errors and a missed penalty proved costly.

The Czech Republic also lost their opener, going down 2-1 to Croatia, so both sides are hunting a first win. Kick-off at the Fortuna Arena is at 7:45 pm BST.

Tuchel faces defensive headaches, with Ezri Konsa and Nico O’Reilly both training away from the main group ahead of the trip. The manager has also voiced frustration at the congested schedule, with England facing a Saturday-Tuesday rhythm through the international window. Czech great Petr Cech has admitted he will be rooting for his homeland rather than the country of his former clubs.
