(The Guardian) Chalobah and Toney included in England squad
Trevoh Chalobah and Ivan Toney are the standout inclusions in Thomas Tuchel’s latest England squad but there’s no place for Phil Foden after he said he needed some time away to recover from a draining period.
Toney, who has been in impressive form in Saudi Arabia, has not been part of the set-up since Euro 2024. The former Brentford striker earns a spot in place of Tottenham’s Dominic Solanke. Chalobah, who was a Tuchel favourite at Chelsea, is brought in for the first time. The Chelsea centre-back has had a good season.
Tuchel has followed through on his promise to include players who could feature at the Club World Cup (the likes of Cole Palmer, Kyle Walker, Noni Madueke, Harry Kane, Reece James and Conor Gallagher, who missed out on the March camp). Trent Alexander-Arnold, who could represent Real Madrid at the tournament, returns after injury. Nottingham Forest’s Morgan Gibbs-White is in too.
England have a World Cup qualifier against Andorra and a home friendly against Senegal next month.

Thomas Tuchel's England squad
Goalkeepers: Dean Henderson (Crystal Palace), Jordan Pickford (Everton), James Trafford (Burnley)
Defenders: Trent Alexander-Arnold (Liverpool), Dan Burn (Newcastle United), Trevoh Chalobah (Chelsea), Levi Colwill (Chelsea), Reece James (Chelsea), Ezri Konsa (Aston Villa), Myles Lewis-Skelly (Arsenal), Kyle Walker (AC Milan, loan from Manchester City)
Midfielders: Jude Bellingham (Real Madrid), Conor Gallagher (Atletico Madrid), Morgan Gibbs-White (Nottingham Forest), Jordan Henderson (Ajax), Curtis Jones (Liverpool), Cole Palmer (Chelsea), Declan Rice (Arsenal), Morgan Rogers (Aston Villa)
Forwards: Eberechi Eze (Crystal Palace), Anthony Gordon (Newcastle United), Harry Kane (Bayern Munich), Noni Madueke (Chelsea), Bukayo Saka (Arsenal), Ivan Toney (Al-Ahli), Ollie Watkins (Aston Villa)
There are no players from Manchester United, Manchester City of Tottenham in Tuchel’s latest England squad, unless you count Kyle Walker of City, who is on loan at AC Milan.
The latest omission of Jack Grealish isn’t a surprise. Grealish is a bit-part player at Manchester City these days and wasn’t used in last weekend’s FA Cup final defeat by Crystal Palace. The match winner in that game, Eberechi Eze, is included. The Palace duo of Marc Guéhi and Adam Wharton miss out, presumably due to injury (although it should be said Tuchel hasn’t seemed entirely convinced by Guéhi).
Tuchel has not been able to name Marcus Rashford because of injury; West Ham’s Jarrod Bowen misses out after failing to take his opportunity last time. Newcastle’s Dan Burn gets another go.
