Thomas Tuchel announces 26-man England World Cup squad as Foden & Palmer miss out

Thomas Tuhcel has announced his 26-man England World Cup squad as the Three Lions look to bring football home for the first time since 1966.

Jordan Pickford is set to feature at his third World Cup after being named in Tuchel's squad, joined by Crystal Palace goalkeeper Dean Henderson and Manchester City stopper James Trafford.

A shock omission sees Manchester United defender Harry Maguire miss out, while the exclusion of Real Madrid star Trent Alexander-Arnold is no real surprise after he failed to make England's 35-man squad for their March international friendlies.

Lewis Hall has been overlooked in the left-back area, to the surprise to a number of England supporters, while Djed Spence makes the squad despite suffering from a broken jaw in Tottenham's 2-1 midweek defeat against Chelsea.

Tuchel has seemingly taken a likening to Bayern Leverkusen centre back Jarell Quansah, and he makes the squad, as does Newcastle United defender Dan Burn.

Kobbie Mainoo's resurgence under Michael Carrick has earned him a place in the squad, but Eagles midfielder Adam Wharton has been left out. Declan Rice and Elliot Anderson are unsurprising inclusions after respectively impressive seasons, while ever-reliable England man Jordan Henderson also makes the cut.

Manchester-born duo Cole Palmer and Phil Foden have been excluded from Tuchel's 26-man squad, with Jude Bellingham, Eberechi Eze and Morgan Rogers travelling as England's options in the attacking midfield role.

Marcus Rashford and Anthony Gordon make up Tuchel's choices on the left flank, while Arsenal's right-wing pairing Bukayo Saka and Noni Madueke also make the squad.

Harry Kane will lead the line in America, providing he is fit, while Europa League winner Ollie Watkins predictably features. A surprising inclusion, however, sees Al-Ahli striker Ivan Toney make the cut after failing to make Tuchel's 35-man squad in March.

His inclusion means Danny Welbeck and Dominic Calvert-Lewin are left out, despite impressive seasons in the Premier League.

Can Thomas Tuchel make changes to his World Cup squad?

Thomas Tuchel will be allowed to make changes to his 26-man squad right up until 24 hours ahead of the Three Lions' World Cup opener against Croatia.

This means that the England boss will be able to replace any of the players named in his finals squad should they sustain an injury or withdraw for any reason up until 21:00 BST on Tuesday 16th June.

However, any replacement must come from the pool of players he named in his provisional 55-man group in mid-May.
