Thomas Tuchel plans to "earn" the right to sing the national anthem after revealing he will not join in with God Save the King during his first England camp.

Tuchel has named a 26-man squad for this month’s World Cup qualifiers with Albania and Latvia and spent almost 90 minutes talking to the media at Wembley on Friday.
