England manager Thomas Tuchel has revealed his 26-man squad for the upcoming FIFA World Cup in North America, leaving out several high-profile players while handing a surprise recall to striker Ivan Toney.
Among the biggest omissions from the squad are Cole Palmer, Phil Foden, Trent Alexander-Arnold, and Harry Maguire, all of whom were widely expected to make the team.
Other notable absentees include in-form Morgan Gibbs-White, Adam Wharton, Lewis Hall, Luke Shaw, and Jarrod Bowen.
The most surprising inclusion is Ivan Toney, who has played only a few minutes of international football since Euro 2024 but has now been recalled for the major tournament.
