The Sixty Six understands Thomas Tuchel is giving serious thought to a sensational recall for Chelsea defender Levi Colwill, ahead of this summer’s World Cup.

Colwill is included in Tuchel’s initial 55-man squad, which he’ll prune to 26 this Friday, although he can also be expected to take a handful of cover players for the friendly matches in Florida ahead of the tournament. 

The England coach has made no secret that he wants athleticism at the heart of his squad for the intense conditions in the US and a potential last 16 trip to Mexico City.
