The upcoming clash marks the sixth World Cup meeting between these historic rivals. Addressing recent reports of internal tension, manager Thomas Tuchel dismissed any rift between himself and midfielder Jude Bellingham, following comments made after the Norway victory. Tuchel emphasized that he remains committed to maintaining high standards within the squad.
Regarding team news, Declan Rice has returned to full training after illness and is expected to start. Looking ahead to the match against Lionel Messi and Argentina, Tuchel expressed deep respect for the legendary captain but insisted that his team is focused on implementing their own tactical approach rather than being intimidated by the history of the rivalry.
