England World Cup 2026 Squad | Trafford, Stones, Guehi & Nico in

I get that Palmer and Foden have had a poor season by their standards but one carried Chelsea to a Club World Cup win (in the USA no less just last season) and Foden is a Champions League winner. Ivan Toney playing in the Saudi Pub League getting picked isn’t right.
 
The fact that we are getting the news bit by bit is an absolute shambles in itself. Is entire squad going to be announced 1 by 1 overnight lol
To be fair from what I can gather it's because Tuchel is ringing up and informing all those left out. Some of them are then leaking the news.. I don't think anyone knows for certain who is included other than drawing conclusions from those left out.

Don't have an issue with Toney going myself. He is a similar player to Kane so if there's an injury you don't have to change the rest of the style/tactics in the team. Rest of our options blow hot and cold, think Toney would outscore them if he played in England.

I wouldn't have taken Foden even if I'm gutted for him that he hasn't made it. Not done enough for England historically or for us this season.

Palmer would have gone. Throw him on and he has the ability to score goals. Think he got an assist and goal from the bench in the Euros. Can't see Madueke doing anything but run the ball out of play. But Tuchel is sticking largely to the players he trusted through qualifying which you can't argue with.
 
As things stand, if we are to believe the rumours, there's chance of a midfield duo of Mainoo and Henderson. Lol.
 



Glad to be honest, don't think the scrutiny would have done him any good. Get a good pre-season in, we need him on it now.

Take a rest, go fishing, spend time with the family, and get your head straight.
But it leaves one question - who's going to get the blame now?
 
Another one reported to be making it is Colwill. No idea, when he’s only played about 3 games and he’s made of glass.
