Thomas Tuchel has officially revealed England’s 26-man squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, and the announcement has already caused huge controversy among football fans worldwide.
The biggest surprises came with the exclusion of Phil Foden, Cole Palmer, and Trent Alexander-Arnold from the final squad despite their international reputation and talent.
England will head into the tournament with a combination of experienced stars and young talents as Tuchel aims to bring the Three Lions their first World Cup title since 1966.
England’s Full Squad for World Cup 2026
Goalkeepers:
Jordan Pickford, Dean Henderson, James Trafford
Defenders:
Ezri Konsa, Dan Burn, John Stones, Marc Guehi, Jarell Quansah, Tino Livramento, Reece James, Nico O’Reilly, Djed Spence
Midfielders:
Jude Bellingham, Kobbie Mainoo, Elliot Anderson, Declan Rice, Jordan Henderson, Eberechi Eze, Morgan Rogers
Forwards:
Harry Kane, Ivan Toney, Ollie Watkins, Bukayo Saka, Noni Madueke, Marcus Rashford, Anthony Gordon
Tuchel reportedly reduced an initial shortlist of 55 players before making his final decision. Jude Bellingham is expected to play a key creative role behind captain Harry Kane, while Eberechi Eze and Morgan Rogers add attacking depth.
Ivan Toney’s return also attracted attention after spending months away from the national team setup, while Marcus Rashford earned his place back following improved performances this season.
However, the biggest talking point remains the omission of Phil Foden and Cole Palmer. Palmer’s difficult run of form and Foden’s inconsistent season reportedly influenced Tuchel’s decision.
England will start their World Cup campaign against Croatia on June 17 before facing Ghana and Panama in the group stage.
