England have called up Ivan Toney and John Stones for their 2026 World Cup squad but have no room for Trent Alexander-Arnold, Phil Foden or Cole Palmer.

 

Noni Madueke and Ollie Watkins have got the nod in attack, while Jordan Henderson is a notable inclusion in midfield.

 

Stones, Jarell Quansah and Dan Burn are among the defenders.

 

England are in Group L, where they will play Croatia, Ghana and Panama, at the World Cup in the U.S., Canada and Mexico.

 

“A lot of phone calls over the last three days. A lot of difficult decisions,” England manager Thomas Tuchel said about his selection.

 

“I’m feeling between relief and excited and ready to go.

 

“Once the decisions are made it gives you clarity and I can’t wait to be in the plane.

 

“I love the tough decisions because they bring in the end clarity, a certain edge.”
