England’s squad for the World Cup qualifier vs Andorra and friendly vs Senegal is out!

England’s national football team, led by head coach Thomas Tuchel, has unveiled its 26-player squad for the upcoming World Cup qualifier against Andorra on June 7, 2025, in Barcelona, and a friendly against Senegal on June 10, 2025, at Nottingham Forest’s City Ground. The announcement has sparked excitement with notable inclusions and absences. Ivan Toney returns after a stellar season at Al-Ahli, scoring 29 goals in 43 matches, earning his spot post-Euro 2024. Chelsea’s Trevoh Chalobah secures his first senior call-up, a reward for his consistent performances, and could debut against Andorra. Arsenal’s trio of Myles Lewis-Skelly, Declan Rice, and Bukayo Saka are included, with Lewis-Skelly continuing to impress Tuchel. Newcastle’s Dan Burn and Anthony Gordon also make the cut, though Jacob Murphy and Tino Livramento miss out. Key absences include Phil Foden, rested after a challenging season, and Marcus Rashford, sidelined by a hamstring injury. Crystal Palace’s Marc Guehi and Adam Wharton are out due to injuries from the FA Cup final, while West Ham’s Jarrod Bowen and Newcastle’s Livramento are also omitted. Arsenal’s Ben White is reportedly available, though his inclusion remains unconfirmed. Tuchel is focused on implementing his tactical vision during a pre-match training camp in Spain. However, the looming Club World Cup, starting June 14, creates scheduling conflicts for players from clubs like Chelsea and Manchester City. Tuchel is likely to retain these players for both matches, pending discussions with the Football Association. The squad blends youth and experience, with Tuchel aiming to secure qualification points against Andorra and build momentum against Senegal.
