Harry Kane was in the form of his life last season, scoring 61 goals in all competitions in the Bundesliga.
But time is with the Bayern Munich striker, who turns 33 on July 28.
The captain, who scored 6 goals in the World Cup, said that after losing to Argentina. “Too early” to talk. About playing in the 2030 finals.
However, Kane could be finished by Euro 2028. Winning a trophy for his country could be the end of his international career.
So preventing damage should not be a problem for a front-runner.
Tuchel’s key task is to come up with a Plan B, or find a suitable understudy if Kane is unavailable.
Phil Foden was given a chance in the false nine role against Uruguay in March. Low performance at this rate That he missed the World Cup.
Tuchel took on two other centre-forwards, Ollie Watkins and Ivan Toney. However, each is limited to one minimal substitution form.
Watkins, the Premier League’s top scorer last season with 16 goals, played just six minutes while Kane was playing for Panama.
Kane replaced Morgan Rodgers in the game against Mexico, playing every minute.
Like Watkins, 30-year-old Toney has only been given one last break against Argentina.
It suggests an over-reliance on Kane, and as he approaches the age of 35, options should be found to lighten the workload.
Dominic Solanke (28) and Dominic Calvert-Lewin (29) are the only strikers England have used in the last 12 months.
Watkins, Leeds’ Calvert Lewin (14) and 35-year-old Brighton striker Danny Welbeck (13) were the only English strikers to hit double figures in the Premier League last season.
Age is not on the side of any of these players, and it is not clear where the new blood is coming from.
Eddie Nketih, England’s under-21 all-time record goalscorer, was expected to be a promising young striker.
However, the former Arsenal man only scored 5 goals in two seasons at Crystal Palace.
Liam Delap, who scored 12 Premier League goals for Ipswich Town in 2024-25, still only 23, will finally find his feet at Chelsea – or at a new club.
This could be a problem for another manager beyond Euro 2028 as Tuchel may feel he has found Kane and that he does.
