Thomas Tuchel faces major England U21 decision as Germany boss Nagelsmann cuts short Majorca holiday to watch final
THOMAS TUCHEL could still make a mad dash from America to Bratislava to watch England Under-21s in tomorrow's Euro final.
But SunSport understands Germany boss Julian Nagelsmann will ditch his yacht in the Mediterranean to jet in for the bumper clash.

Three Lions boss Tuchel is in the US at the Club World Cup to watch a number of his international stars.
He has also combined the trip with a recce ahead of next summer's World Cup out there as he plots to end 60 years of hurt for our nation.
U21's head coach Lee Carsley revealed last week that he has been in regular contact with Tuchel.
He added that the German has been 'very supportive' of both him and his players.
There are still hopes he could have enough time to make the 5,000-mile-plus journey to be at the Narodny Futbalovy Stadion to see the Young Lions take on his home nation.
If he does make it, then we can confirm that he could be sat next to Nagelsmann in the VIP seats - the man he replaced at Bayern Munich in 2023.
Rather than following suit and trekking to the States, Nagelsmann has been topping up his suntan in Majorca on a yacht.
But he will leave the Spanish island hotspot and fly 1,622 miles to watch his nation's young guns try to topple England.
The Young Lions are looking to retain their Euro crown having knocked out both Spain and the Dutch in less than a week.
Carsley said: "We've got so much quality.
"But, more importantly, we've got a squad that believe that they can win.
"There's more belief, which is important if we're going to go that one step more, which is generally the hardest step now – getting over the line.
" But I'm so proud of them and hopefully everyone has enjoyed watching us during this tournament."

Sunderland make club-record signing in £30m deal as Black Cats make statement of intent on return to Premier League
Sunderland have made a statement of intent ahead of their first Premier League season in eight years by signing a player for a club-record fee. The Black Cats will bolster their midfield with a £30million signing of a player who has shone in Ligue 1 for Strasbourg. He made his debut for them in 2021 and has gone on to make 92 league appearances for the French side. But the player in question is now set for a big-money move to the Premier League ahead of the 2025-26 campaign. The midfielder has also made 11 appearances at international level for Senegal since making his debut in 2024. Now he will have a chance to impress on a bigger stage ahead of his move to the Stadium of Light. Regis Le Bris will be hoping to keep his side in the top flight after winning promotion Habib Diarra will make the switch to Wearside in a transfer that was confirmed by Fabrizio Romano. His move comes after Sunderland secured promotion to the top flight courtesy of a dramatic play-off final victory over Sheffield United in May. Regis Le Bris' side were trailing for the majority of the contest after Tyrese Campbell's 25-minute opener. But Sunderland drew level with 14 minutes remaining thanks to Eliezer Mayenda's strike to drag them back into the contest. Their supporters were then sent into dreamland when substitute Tom Watson scored in the 95th minute to seal his team's ascension to the Premier League. Sunderland will be hoping their latest campaign in the top flight is far more successful than the last time they were in English football's premier division. The 2016-17 season was one to forget on the pitch as they finished bottom of the table with just six wins all season. That saw them rooted to 20th position as they ended the campaign 16 points from safety - a feat they will hope they do not emulate under Le Bris.
