Henry Winter has urged Thomas Tuchel to give Newcastle United defender Lewis Hall a sustained run in England’s starting line-up.
Speaking on talkSPORT’s Sunday Edition, the journalist argued for continuity at left-back after England tried several different players in the position.
“And I think we should give Lewis Hall a run now,” Winter said, as reported by talkSPORT.
Lewis Hall faces next England selection test
Hall has started England’s last two matches, following the 2-0 victory over Czechia with Saturday’s 7-0 win against Croatia.
He retained his place in Rijeka despite Tuchel making five changes, an encouraging detail in his attempt to establish himself internationally.
Our report on Hall’s Croatia performance covered the positive assessment of his work on the left flank.
The next opportunity comes against Czechia at Wembley on Tuesday, with kick-off at 7:45pm BST.
Hall’s opening widened after Nico O’Reilly withdrew from England’s squad, but keeping the position when Tuchel has more options would represent another step.
For Newcastle supporters, that is the selection decision worth watching. Consecutive appearances have given Hall a platform; a longer run would let him build on it.
Winter’s recommendation adds support to that case, although Tuchel has yet to confirm his team for Tuesday’s fixture.
