England Squad Selection: Maguire and Alexander-Arnold Push for Recall

For the first time since taking over as England manager, Thomas Tuchel is expected to include at least one Manchester United player in his latest squad, with Harry Maguire being the most likely to earn a recall. Maguire's leadership skills and experience, with 64 England caps and 12 World Cup appearances, make him a strong contender. Kobbie Mainoo's return to form also puts him in contention for a call-up, while Luke Shaw has an outside chance of making the squad. James Garner is another player pushing for a spot, having impressed with his performances for Everton in the Premier League. Jude Bellingham is expected to be included, despite still recovering from a hamstring injury. The England boss has big decisions to make, particularly regarding his number 10 options, with Bellingham, Cole Palmer, Morgan Rogers, Phil Foden, and Eberechi Eze all competing for a spot. Palmer's indifferent form for Chelsea puts him at risk of being left out, while Eberechi Eze's recent wonder goal has strengthened his case. Up front, Harry Kane's impressive form continues, but the search for an understudy remains, with Ollie Watkins struggling for form and Danny Welbeck or Dominic Calvert-Lewin potentially coming into consideration.
