It recently emerged that ex-Chelsea manager and new England boss Thomas Tuchel has spent some time working from home.

While Thomas Tuchel was spotted at Stamford Bridge watching his former club’s 2-2 draw with Bournemouth last month, he has worked from home during some weekends thanks to an agreement with the FA.

The German’s first game in charge of England is on 21 March when the Three Lions take on Albania in a World Cup qualifier.

One Chelsea player who will be hoping to be called up is Ben Chilwell, who is currently on loan at Crystal Palace. Despite his lack of game time this season, it has been claimed that Chilwell is still in Tuchel’s plans.

Thomas Tuchel using Helix software

There has been a bit of backlash to the news that Tuchel has not been going to Premier League games every weekend.

However, the 51-year-old does not need to go to a stadium to see his England players in action.

According to The Telegraph, Tuchel has access to a special software called Helix, which allows him to watch any game live, even if it is not being televised.

Helix, which has been provided to Tuchel by the FA, shows the whole pitch, giving its users a tactical view.

Thomas Tuchel has already spoken to Noni Madueke

Chelsea could provide England and Tuchel with a lot of players this year and going forward.

Palmer, Chilwell, Noni Madueke, Reece James, Levi Colwill and Jadon Sancho are all England internationals. The likes of Tosin Adarabioyo, Trevoh Chalobah and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall are also eligible to play for the Three Lions.

Tuchel has already spoken to Madueke, with the winger revealing the details of the chat they had before Chelsea’s 3-1 win against Wolverhampton Wanderers in January.

“I spoke to him earlier on this week and we kind of had a laugh about the game,” Madueke shared. “I told him that I scored a hat-trick in the earlier fixture and he said, ‘Well you better go and score again then’, so. Yeah, that I was able to do so, chuffed with that.”

Unfortunately for Madueke, though, the 22-year-old recently picked up a hamstring injury, meaning that he could miss Tuchel’s first two games in charge next month.
