Thomas Tuchel explains Lewis Hall absence after Newcastle injury scare

England manager Thomas Tuchel explained that Lewis Hall was left unused in England's 3-2 Nations League defeat against Spain to avoid risking his fitness. The 22-year-old Newcastle United defender had experienced an injury scare earlier in the week, missing Wednesday's training session before returning to work with the squad on Thursday.

Hall remains with the national squad ahead of Tuesday's match against Czechia. His fitness is critical for Newcastle manager Matthias Jaissle, who is already managing defensive injuries following Tino Livramento's withdrawal from England duty.
