00:00Leeds goalkeeper James Trafford was handed a start for England against Spain, adding another chapter to a summer that almost
00:08saw the goalkeeper join Newcastle.
00:10James Trafford was close to joining Newcastle United, but Leeds eventually secured his signature instead.
00:17Now his England opportunity came alongside Leeds teammate Dominic Calvert-Lewin, who was introduced late on at Wembley.
00:24Newcastle defender Dan Byrne, meanwhile, remained on the bench and did not feature as England were beaten 3-2 by
00:32Spain.
00:32Here's what Thomas Tuchel had to say about selecting James Trafford in goal.
00:38And just one on selection, James Trafford started, so that would have been a big evening for him against world
00:43champions coming in for Jordan Pickford.
00:45How did you think he did this evening?
00:48I'm not a specialist for goalkeeping, so it was clear that and for analysing performances, but I think he deserved
01:00to get two matches.
01:02That's why we gave him two matches.
01:05He started the Premier League season well.
01:07He gets his No. 1 in Leeds.
01:09Jordan didn't absolutely nothing wrong, but we want to use this competition to see how far actually James is in
01:21these two weeks.
01:22So he gets these two matches.
01:24I'm convinced that it's better to get two matches and not just one match.
