Thomas Tuchel touches base with Harry Kane at Club World Cup as England boss scouts training base locations ahead of 2026 World Cup

According to The Mirror, Tuchel has been watching this summer's Club World Cup keenly, speaking closely with Harry Kane and members of the English contingent at the tournament as he attempts to learn more ahead of next year's World Cup. Tuchel has attended fixtures at this summer's event and hopes to learn how his players cope with the extreme heat experienced in some areas of the country.

Tuchel has a big job on his hands as he prepares to lead the Three Lions to the World Cup next summer, so he will be looking to obtain any early advantage he can ahead of a tournament which is likely to define his spell as England manager.

Tuchel and England are reportedly checking out various training bases with the intention of holding a pre-training camp to get used to the heat ahead of the World Cup in the U.S., Canada and Mexico. Miami has been touted as a leading option due to its intense heat, while Kansas and Dallas are also possibilities.

Tuchel will likely stick around to view further Club World Cup matches as Kane's Bayern and Enzo Maresca's Chelsea remain in the competition and hope to go all the way. The Three Lions next return to action in their World Cup qualifiers against Andorra and Serbia in September and will be hoping for a notable improvement in performance from the recent clashes with Andorra and Senegal.
