Thomas Tuchel has been bold with some surprise names included and omitted from his 26-man England squad for this summer’s World Cup.
Tuchel has said he would be willing to drop the most talented players if it was right for the team, but the decision to leave Cole Palmer, Harry Maguire and Phil Foden at home is especially daring – proof that the German is willing to stand by his forthright words.
In-form Morgan Gibbs-White is unfortunate to miss out, while Crystal Palace’s Adam Wharton is another surprise absentee. Manchester United midfielder Kobbie Mainoo is named, with Saudi-based Ivan Toney possibly the most staggering inclusion. Bayer Leverkusen’s Jarell Quansah and Newcastle defender Dan Burn keep Maguire out.
