Tuchel is working closely with the Football Association’s medical and sports science experts to ensure the squad is well-prepared for the physical demands of competing in extreme weather conditions. He also intends to use his attendance at the ongoing Club World Cup to evaluate the physical condition of England’s potential World Cup players first-hand. Meanwhile, the FA will dispatch operational staff to the United States during the tournament to inspect potential training venues and hotel accommodations.

While the idea of sending England’s top players on a transatlantic trip during the busy March window might not sit well with club managers, especially with crucial Premier League and Champions League fixtures looming, Tuchel appears unfazed. If England top their World Cup qualifying group and avoid the playoffs, Tuchel will have even more flexibility to execute his preparation plans.

Though Miami remains Tuchel’s top choice, the Middle East is also on the radar due to its high-quality training facilities and more manageable time difference. However, the final call on the training camp location will only be made after England's World Cup qualifying campaign concludes.
