What next for Lee Carsley and England?

Lee Carsley’s interim spell as England manager ended with a 5-0 win over the Republic of Ireland to earn Nations League promotion back to League A.

Carsley, who was given a six-game brief following the departure of Gareth Southgate, will now hand the keys to Thomas Tuchel, who begins his new role in January.

Here, the PA news agency takes a look at the questions surrounding the England team.

What will his first camp look like?

The German’s first game in charge will be in the March window, but the opposition or type of fixture will not be known until December when the World Cup qualifying draw is made. If England are drawn in a group of five, Tuchel’s reign will begin with World Cup qualifiers. If they are drawn in a group of four, the German will be eased in with a pair of friendly games.

Which players could benefit from Tuchel’s arrival?
