**With World Cup Aspirations, Will Tuchel Continue with England’s Young Talents?** Eight promising youngsters were handed their debuts by interim manager Lee Carsley, but as Thomas Tuchel takes the reins, he will be eager to make swift progress towards the 2026 World Cup. These players, affectionately dubbed "Lee Carsley’s Kids," each experienced the unforgettable moment of representing England for the first time during Carsley’s six-match tenure. The debutants, in order of their appearances, are Angel Gomes, Morgan Gibbs-White, Noni Madueke, Curtis Jones, Lewis Hall, Morgan Rogers, Tino Livramento, and Taylor Harwood-Bellis. Carsley, who is set to return to his role managing the England Under-21s, felt confident in giving these young talents a chance. “I did not see it as a gamble,” he remarked following England’s impressive 5-0 victory over the Republic of Ireland at Wembley, a win that secured England’s promotion back to the A section of the Nations League. “The most striking aspect of these young players is their mentality. They rise to any challenge presented to them, and we’ve witnessed that firsthand. The real test for them now is to maintain their place in the squad come March.” As Tuchel steps in, the question remains whether he will continue to nurture this new generation of players on the road to the World Cup.
