Thomas Tuchel names England squad for 2026 World Cup
The German has made some big decisions on his squad, with Phil Foden and Cole Palmer the headline omissions from the travelling group.
Harry Maguire, Morgan Gibbs-White, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Adam Wharton are other notable absentees, though there’s a recall fo Al-Ahli striker Ivan Toney for the first time since June.
Maguire confirmed his omission on social media on Thursday, with the 33-year-old stating he was ‘shocked and gutted’ to miss out.
