Despite being booed by fans, White has been cleared to play against Japan, demonstrating Tuchel's confidence in the player.

The Arsenal defender recently made his first appearance for England in over three years, scoring a goal and conceding a penalty against Uruguay, but Tuchel remains supportive.

Tuchel expressed his backing for White, stating that the player has the team's support and has reacted well to the situation, both in training and in discussions with teammates.

The England boss believes that White is in contention to play against Japan, given the need to rotate the squad and utilize fresh players.

Tuchel has been focusing on preparations for the Japan match, analyzing the opposition and considering his team selection.

He noted that White has been performing well in training and has integrated well with the rest of the group.

However, Tuchel has concerns about the performance of his forward players, aside from captain Harry Kane, who is having a strong season.

Tuchel is worried that other key players, such as Bukayo Saka and Eberechi Eze, are not producing the expected numbers in terms of goals and assists.

The England coach wonders if the strong defensive teams in the league are contributing to the relatively low output from his attacking players.

Tuchel would like to see more impressive statistics from his forwards, as this would make a significant difference in the team's overall performance.

He acknowledges that England may not be among the top favorites to win the World Cup, given their record against strong opponents.

Under Tuchel, England has yet to beat a team ranked in the top 20, with the exception of a few notable matches.

The coach is aware that Japan, ranked 19th, and Croatia, ranked 11th, will provide tough opposition in the upcoming tournament.

Tuchel believes that his team has the potential to compete and make a strong showing in the World Cup, despite not being considered heavy favorites.

He is mindful of the challenges posed by tournament football, including player fatigue from league and cup commitments.
