West Ham legend Mark Noble said in a statement: “On behalf of everyone at West Ham United, it is with deep and profound sadness that I confirm the tragic passing of our U15s Academy goalkeeper Oscar Fairs, following his brave battle with cancer.”Oscar was adored by everyone at the Academy – not only was he a great goalkeeper, he was a true Hammer and a fantastic young person, who will be deeply missed by everyone who had the pleasure to know him.”I have wonderful memories of Oscar playing in my garden – Lenny [his son] and his team-mates all loved him.

      Thomas Tuchel to hold talks with Ben White over ending England exile and promises ‘clean start’ for outcast players

      by

      THOMAS TUCHEL has promised England’s players a clean slate when he takes over as England manager.This will include speaking to Arsenal’s Ben White over whether he wants to end his self-imposed exile from international football.Thomas Tuchel has promised a clean state to all England playersCredit: PAThe news boss will speak to Ben White about his international futureCredit: GettyAnd it will also be good news for the likes of Jadon Sancho, Marcus Rashford, Mason Mount and Raheem Sterling who could potentially return if they are able to rediscover their top form on a consistent basis in the Premier League.Tuchel was at FIFA’s HQ in Zurich for the 2026 World Cup qualifying draw even though he does not officially start work until the New Year.The German’s full-time predecessor, Gareth Southgate, had an ability to cast a spell over the draws for both qualifying and major tournaments as he always ended up with easy groups.And it looks as though Southgate has passed his secret on to Tuchel.READ MORE IN FOOTBALLThe former Bayern Munich manager drove to Switzerland as it is only 160 miles from his Bavaria home. And his team will surely cruise into the 2026 tournament to be staged in the United States, Canada and Mexico.Tuchel said: “It should be a clean start and a clear narrative. It starts from January. I will be in the stadiums from January. The players should just know, ‘okay, the boss is there from January’.“Then I will of course try to speak to them, but also be respectful to the schedule that they have, because the schedule is busy in January, especially in the Premier League.”Most read in FootballFOOTBALL FREE BETS AND SIGN UP DEALSAsked about White, Tuchel said: “Yes. I will reach out to him.”Although the German has about a little chance of success in persuading the player to deliver a U-turn. The Sun’s Charlie Wyett reacts to World Cup 2026 qualifying draw as Thomas Tuchel’s England are placed in group full of controversyHe left the squad during the 2022 World Cup in Qatar due to personal reasons.It is also likely that Tuchel, who loved Mount when he was in charge at Chelsea, is also likely to deliver a shock in the same way interim manager Lee Carsley sprung a surprise by parachuting Angel Gomes into the squad for the Uefa Nations League games.While Tuchel talks about a fresh start, he is still likely to stick with Harry Kane as captain.There is a valid argument that No9s do not make great captains although considering Tuchel is the man who persuaded his Bayern Munich bosses to sign Kane from Tottenham, it would be a huge shock if the skipper’s armband was suddenly handed to Jude Bellingham or Declan Rice.Tuchel said: “There is no need to think about the change. I am in charge from January and Harry was also a top captain for England, so why even think about it at the moment? We will cross the river when we get to the river.“We will first get to January and then we will be in touch with everyone and get a feeling for St George’s and also for the players.”Until March, there is still a lot of football to be played and then we will try to find the best group for the games that wait.”Mason Mount could get back in England contentionCredit: GettyThomas Tuchel is unlikely to take the captain’s armband off Harry KaneCredit: APEngland have not lost a World Cup qualifier since a 1-0 loss to Ukraine in 2009 which was a dead rubber.Serbia, ranked 32 in the world, are not a bad side but you still worry more about the behaviour of their fans rather than the team.Albania’s supporters also caused issues at Euro 2024, and we are not talking about the fans who snapped spaghetti in front of a group of Italians before their group stage match.England had few problems against the Albanians in qualifying for Qatar and it is also tedious that this set of matches also includes games against hopeless Andorra who, according to Southgate, had the worst plastic pitch in European football.World Cup qualifying draw in fullGroup A: Winner GER/ITA, Slovakia, Northern Ireland, LuxembourgGroup B: Switzerland, Sweden, Slovenia, KosovoGroup C: Loser POR/DEN, Greece, Scotland, BelarusGroup D: Winner FRA/CRO, Ukraine, Iceland, AzerbaijanGroup E: Winner SPA/NED, Turkey, Georgia, BulgariaGroup F: Winner POR/DEN, Hungary, Ireland, ArmeniaGroup G: Loser SPA/NED, Poland, Finland, Lithuania, MaltaGroup H: Austria, Romania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Cyprus, San MarinoGroup I: Loser GER/ITA, Norway, Israel, Estonia, MoldovaGroup J: Belgium, Wales, North Macedonia, Kazakhstan, LiechensteinGroup K: England, Serbia, Albania, Latvia, AndorraGroup L: Loser FRA/CRO, Czechia, Montenegro, Faroe Islands, GibraltarTuchel yesterday responded to criticism that he has not been at any Premier League games or was in the stands for the final two England games under interim manager Lee Carsley in November as he had been confirmed as manager.He said: “Why would I sit on the stands? It was my wish to let Lee finish this campaign, because obviously the FA had the agreement with Lee, more or less, to go through this Nations League campaign.”Why have the cameras on me? Why have the focus on me? What about Lee and his team and his nomination? It’s for me, a way to show my respect and to show my trust, to not be there and sit on the tribune and have all the media attention.”Curiously, Tuchel has still not spoken to Carsley.READ MORE SUN STORIESWith tongue in cheek, he added: “The famous handover is not done yet – we will do this very naturally when I am at St George’s in January.”From there on, we will have very close communication, hopefully, and open doors because he is the U21s coach and I am responsible for the first team.”Forgotten England stars could benefit from Tuchel appointmentWITH Thomas Tuchel announced as the next England manager, a few forgotten stars might be hopeful of a return to the international set up.The former Chelsea and Bayern Munich manager usually uses a 3-4-3 formation.That could provide an opening for Mason Mount, who’s not been involved in the England set-up since the World Cup in 2022.The now Manchester United star enjoyed his most successful spell under Tuchel while the pair were at Stamford Bridge.Tuchel could also offer lifelines to other previously capped players such as Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Eric Dier.RLC has excelled since his move to AC Milan and with England struggling to find a partner for Rice, he could be the surprise answer.Meanwhile, Dier played for Tuchel at Bayern Munich as part of a back-three last season.The defender did enough to convince the club to make his loan move permanent after he had fallen out of favour at Tottenham.Click here to see the full England XI who could play under Tuchel.

All that is normal and can happen.Most read in FootballBEST FREE BET SIGN UP OFFERS FOR UK BOOKMAKERS”I am a person who sometimes gets nervous, I have bad days, I make a lot of mistakes and rudeness makes me nervous.”Do I sometimes lose my head?

But I know it will pass. The same when I’m very happy. I know it will pass.”I sincerely believe that it will be a year of great difficulties. We have to find continuity. “But if we manage to get through to the Champions League, it will not be easy for anyone to face us.”City’s problems have led to a rare sight of Guardiola coming under fire.And ex-England boss Fabio Capello didn’t hold back on his criticism as he described the Barcelona legend as “arrogant and presumptuous”.
