England manager Thomas Tuchel is pushing for new regulations at the World Cup, but he doesn't anticipate his suggestions will be taken into account. Tuchel is set to participate in a series of coaching meetings in Washington next month, before the draw on December 5.

The discussions are expected to revolve around squad size, which is likely to be increased to 26 due to the expanded tournament, as well as water breaks and additional substitute slots, given the sweltering conditions in the United States. England will also find out not only their opponents but also their base location in the US, determined by the seeding system, allowing them to secure their training facility.

Kansas City is their preferred choice, but the final decision will depend on the draw. They are also scheduled to train at Inter Miami's base in Fort Lauderdale, having spoken to David Beckham, with two friendly matches planned in Florida in June.

Tuchel said: "I will prepare properly to have a good opinion. I am looking forward to it, and now it gets started and how we play and we can finally plan where we are staying and how we arrange everything in the tournament.

"But I have not so good experience with bringing up ideas because I was at Uefa with Chelsea, with the Champions League coaches, we had a lot of ideas and very rarely anyone listens.

"Now and again we will get our opinion if we are asked but I think to really change something meaning rules or anything, I don't get my hopes up.

"We have a scenario that would be ideal for us but there are things to clarify, like where do we train, where do we live. We are on it, that is my understanding, but nothing is finalised and if I would talk about it, it just makes things more complicated."
