England’s World Cup 2026 squad to be revealed by Thomas Tuchel: football – live

Thomas Tuchel has revealed the 26-man England squad for the 2026 World Cup on May 22, 2026.

The final inclusion in the squad is Tottenham full back Djed Spence. Spence was selected for his versatility, as he is capable of playing on both flanks.

The squad announcement features several notable omissions, most significantly the absence of Trent Alexander-Arnold.

Harry Maguire is also excluded from the 26-man roster. Commenting on the omission via social media, Barney Ronay described the situation as Harry Maguire: anatomy of how NOT to make a case for being the perfect 7-week back-up squad member. No need for Tuchel to explain now. We all save five mins.

The timing of the squad revelation coincides with the final day of the Premier League season on May 22, 2026.
