England manager Thomas Tuchel has unveiled his 26-man squad for the upcoming June fixtures, including a World Cup qualifier against Andorra on June 7 and a friendly against Senegal on June 10. Captain Harry Kane headlines the selection, joined by key players Jude Bellingham and Trent Alexander-Arnold, both returning after injury layoffs.
Ivan Toney earns a surprise recall following a prolific season with Al-Ahli in Saudi Arabia, where he netted 29 goals in 43 appearances and contributed to their AFC Champions League victory. Chelsea defender Trevoh Chalobah receives his first senior call-up after a strong domestic campaign.
Notable omissions include Phil Foden, who requested to be left out to focus on his mental health and fitness, as well as Manchester United players and Arsenal's Ben White. Despite requiring shoulder surgery, Jude Bellingham is included in the squad, with the procedure scheduled post-tournament.
The squad features a blend of experience and emerging talent, with players like Cole Palmer, Myles Lewis-Skelly, and Morgan Rogers earning spots. Goalkeepers Dean Henderson, Jordan Pickford, and James Trafford complete the roster.
Tuchel emphasized the importance of maintaining squad consistency, stating that all 26 players will remain with the team throughout the international window, despite overlapping commitments such as the FIFA Club World Cup.
