England manager Thomas Tuchel has announced his 26-man squad for this summer’s World Cup.
Real Madrid’s Trent Alexander-Arnold is one of many big names to be left at home, as well as Manchester City’s Phil Foden and Chelsea’s Cole Palmer.
Al-Ahli striker Ivan Toney has earned his seat on the plane despite not featuring for the Three Lions since June last year, and Spurs’ right-back Djed Spence has been trusted ahead of Alexander-Arnold despite breaking his jaw on Tuesday.
Manchester United defender Harry Maguire broke the news last night that he would not be in the squad, letting his social media followers aware that he was ‘shocked and gutted’ of Tuchel’s decision. The likes of Dan Burn and Jarell Quansah have been preferred to the former Red Devils captain.
The squad in full:
GOALKEEPERS: Jordan Pickford (Everton), Dean Henderson (Crystal Palace), James Trafford (Manchester City)
DEFENDERS: Dan Burn (Newcastle United), Marc Guehi (Manchester City), Reece James (Chelsea), Ezri Konsa (Aston Villa), Tino Livramento (Newcastle United), Nico O’Reilly (Manchester City), Jarell Quansah (Bayer Leverkusen), Djed Spence (Tottenham Hotspur), John Stones (Manchester City)
MIDFIELDERS: Elliot Anderson (Nottingham Forest), Jude Bellingham (Real Madrid), Eberechi Eze (Arsenal), Jordan Henderson (Brentford), Kobbie Mainoo (Manchester United), Declan Rice (Arsenal), Morgan Rogers (Aston Villa)
