Tuchel to remind England of anti-racism protocols before Spain game

England manager Thomas Tuchel plans to brief his players on Uefa's three-step anti-racism protocol ahead of Sunday's Nations League match against Spain in Madrid. This measure allows referees to pause or abandon matches if discriminatory behavior occurs, a concern following past incidents in the Spanish capital.

The Spanish federation recently faced sanctions for xenophobic chanting during a match against Egypt. Tuchel emphasized the importance of maintaining a strong mindset against the unbeaten world champions, noting that a top performance is required to secure a group victory and a favorable quarter-final draw.

The manager highlighted that the team must focus on physical play and imposing their strengths to challenge a side that has not lost in 43 matches, while ensuring the players are fully prepared for any potential stadium incidents.
