The recently appointed Three Lions boss welcomed his first squad to the famous England training centre on Monday and players will have to get used to some big changes in the training regime. A major difference compared to Gareth Southgate's camp is that Tuchel will have his stars train in the afternoon instead of the morning like they did under the German's predecessor.

Tuchel's reasoning for the change is to prepare the team for evening kick-offs better, putting bodies through their paces later in the day and familiarising their muscles with the routine. The Mirror also report that the former Bayern Munich and Chelsea boss wants time in the mornings to have team meetings and one-to-one sessions with the players.
