England take a break from 2026 World Cup qualifying to conclude their June slate, as they face Senegal in a friendly on Tuesday night.
Thomas Tuchel’s side produced a limp display in Catalonia on Saturday night but nonetheless maintained their 100% start to qualifying with a 1–0 win over Andorra. Record goalscorer Harry Kane bundled in the game’s only goal.
The German manager was understandably critical of England‘s showing at the weekend, and he’ll want to oversee a more convincing performance on Tuesday to wrap up the break.
This is just their second-ever meeting with Senegal, whom they beat 3–0 in the last 16 at the 2022 World Cup. While Sadio Mané won’t be featuring at the City Ground, Pape Thiaw’s squad is laden with familiar Premier League stars.
Their June tour of the British Isles started with a 1–1 draw against the Republic of Ireland on Friday night. Crystal Palace’s Ismaïla Sarr, off the back of an excellent season with the Eagles, struck late for the visitors after Kasey McAteer handed Ireland a first-half lead.
Here is guide to the friendly.
