England manager Thomas Tuchel confirms his final 26-man FIFA World Cup squad on Friday morning after making a series of high-profile omissions. Multiple outlets report that Cole Palmer, Phil Foden and Harry Maguire are left out, with the decision described as a major shake-up of England’s attacking and defensive options. The Guardian adds that Ivan Toney is called up to the squad and that Djed Spence is selected over Trent Alexander-Arnold. According to the same report, Tuchel contacts players in advance of the announcement, with the final squad confirmed on Friday. Other coverage focuses on fan reaction to the reported selection decisions, including anger over the exclusion of prominent players. Daily Mail reporting also says Tuchel provides explanations for specific omissions following a leak of the draft squad, and that there is disagreement and criticism around the handling and the reasons given. Overall, the common thread across sources is that Tuchel delivers a selection with multiple headline names removed and several changes in personnel, leading to public controversy ahead of England’s World Cup campaign.
