Speaking about his decision to pick a 35-man squad for this camp, Tuchel said: “We decided to divide it into basically two camps almost, so we bring players in that we haven’t seen who haven’t played so much to open up the picture, and the competition for plane tickets to the US.
“Then from Friday and Saturday, a group of players will come into camp – ten or eleven players who get a rest before and we will then go with a new group and mix of players into the match against Japan.”
Tickets for both the game against Uruguay on Friday 27 March (7.45pm GMT) and the match with Japan on Tuesday 31 March (7.45pm BST) are still on sale.
