Phil Foden and Cole Palmer are set to miss out on England’s 26-man squad for this summer’s World Cup when manager Thomas Tuchel names his final selection on Friday, according to a BBC report.
Harry Maguire is also expected to be omitted, with the Manchester United defender admitting he was devastated by the decision.
In a post on Instagram, Maguire said: “I was confident I could have played a major part this summer for my country after the season I’ve had. I’ve been left shocked and gutted by the decision. I wish the players all the best.”
Despite helping Manchester United through an improved campaign, the 33-year-old centre-back is set to miss out on the tournament in the United States, Mexico and Canada.
