Thomas Tuchel has named his England squad for the 2026 World Cup and it will be a tournament without both Phil Foden and Cole Palmer.
Yet, it's still one of the strongest squads assembled by an England boss and is led by Europe's leading goalscorer, Harry Kane.
The 2026 World Cup, from June 11 to July 18, is an expanded format with 48 national teams now competing, originally divided into 12 groups.
England will face Croatia, Ghana and Panama in Group L , starting on Wednesday, June 17, in their opener against Croatia.
