England manager Thomas Tuchel has kept his options for the World Cup open by naming an enlarged 35-player squad, which will be split into two parts, but Trent Alexander-Arnold, Ollie Watkins, Morgan Gibbs-White and Luke Shaw have been dealt a blow after not making the cut for the upcoming friendlies against Uruguay and Japan.
Tuchel has handed Kobbie Mainoo and Harry Maguire their first call-ups since he took charge of England, while Leeds striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin, who made the last of his 11 England appearances at Euro 2020, also returns to the national side. Everton midfielder James Garner and Brighton goalkeeper Jason Steele are also included for the first time.
