In a surprise defeat, England lost 3-1 to Senegal in a friendly match at the City Ground, with Thomas Tuchel tasting his first loss since taking charge. The match, played with a much-changed lineup, marked the first time an African team had beaten England in 22 attempts. Midfielder Morgan Gibbs-White expressed disappointment, stating that the team "let ourselves down, let the country down, let the badge down." Former Everton playmaker Leon Osman questioned if Tuchel's tenure is the start of a new direction for England's playing style, while former Manchester United captain Roy Keane expressed concern over the team's overall spirit. Tuchel himself acknowledged the loss and the learning opportunities, focusing on the upcoming World Cup, which is just one year away.
