England manager, Thomas Tuchel, has excluded high-profile names out of his England squad for the World Cup, while striker Ivan Toney has earned a shock recall.
Cole Palmer, Phil Foden, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Harry Maguire are the eye-catching names to have missed out on selection after Tuchel confirmed his 26-man squad for this summer’s tournament in North America.
In-form Nottingham Forest forward Morgan Gibbs-White, Crystal Palace midfielder Adam Wharton, Newcastle defender Lewis Hall, Man Utd’s Luke Shaw and West Ham captain Jarrod Bowen are other notable absentees from the squad.
The surprise name included is Ivan Toney, who has played just seven minutes of international football since Euro 2024.
