Tuchel also addressed the physical state of midfielder Declan Rice, who has managed hamstring nerve pain since Christmas and suffered a recurrence against the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

"I asked Declan how he was. He said: 'I can do it for the team but I am in terrible pain.'
And when Declan tells you he is in terrible pain then you know he cannot take it any more," Tuchel said.
The manager added that Rice was grateful to be substituted and said after the game it's not an issue.
"There is no injury. I think he will recover.
He was just in pain and I hope he is right. It's more neural pain.
Can he go from game to game? He can, yes," Tuchel said.
Tuchel was also questioned about potential disruptions from local fans outside the team hotel, following recent complaints from Ecuador regarding fireworks.
"We will expect that but what can we do?" Tuchel said.
The coaching staff intends to mitigate potential noise disruptions by providing protective gear for the squad ahead of the match.

"Yeah, we will bring some stuff. I expect everything," Tuchel said.
