Tuchel Warns England of Serbian Test After Lackluster Win Over Andorra

England manager Thomas Tuchel has urged his players to raise their game as they prepare for a crucial World Cup qualifier against Serbia in Belgrade on Tuesday.

The call comes after England labored to a 2-0 win over Andorra at Villa Park, where an own goal and Declan Rice’s late header sealed victory against a side ranked 170 places below them.

Tuchel admitted his team must adapt to a far tougher test against Serbia, who sit second in Group K behind England. “We expect an emotional stadium, a very physical team, and a direct style of play,” Tuchel said. “We need to step up, adapt, and prove that we are a strong group on the right path.”

England lead the group with 12 points from four matches, while Serbia trail on seven points from three games.
