Tuchel Recalls Ivan Toney England Squad June Fixtures

Thomas Tuchel has named his second England squad, recalling Ivan Toney for the first time since Euro 2024 after the striker's prolific season with Saudi side Al-Ahli, where he scored 29 goals and helped secure the Asian Champions League title. Chelsea defender Trevoh Chalobah has received his first England call-up, while Phil Foden, Marcus Rashford, Jarrod Bowen, and Dominic Solanke are notable omissions due to injury or form, with Foden admitting struggles with injury and mental health. Despite concerns over player welfare given the upcoming expanded Club World Cup, key stars from clubs like Manchester City, Chelsea, Real Madrid, and Bayern Munich—including Harry Kane, Jude Bellingham, and Cole Palmer—have all been selected. England, currently leading their World Cup qualifying group after wins over Albania and Latvia, will face Andorra in Barcelona on June 7 and Senegal at Nottingham Forest’s City Ground on June 10. The selection reflects Tuchel's intent to maintain a strong squad as he aims to win the 2026 World Cup, despite scheduling challenges and injury concerns. Jude Bellingham is included despite a pending shoulder surgery that may affect his availability next season.
