James Trafford gets new chance to prove himself with England
James Trafford, goalkeeper for Leeds United, is preparing to get another opportunity to prove his abilities with the England national team during UEFA Nations League matches, as manager Thomas Tuchel seeks to increase competition for the goalkeeper position.
Thomas Tuchel confirmed that Jordan Pickford remains the first-choice goalkeeper for England, but he also stressed the importance of having competition within the team, saying that "a little competition is good" for goalkeepers.
This new opportunity for James Trafford comes as he seeks to convince the coaching staff of his right to a larger role with the England national team and to compete with Jordan Pickford for the starting goalkeeper position in the future.
In a related context, Thomas Tuchel has called up defender Dan Burn to compensate for the absence of Marc Guéhi, who suffered an injury, making Burn the latest addition to the England squad.
