thomas tuchel‘S England The squad for the November camp and the final two World Cup qualifiers was It’s just as eye-opening as who he left behind Also who did they choose?
like omission of big names Trent Alexander-Arnold, Jack Grealish And Harry Maguire Realistically points to their exclusion from the World Cup squad next summer and Tuchel has one more camp – in March – to decide which players will be on the plane to Mexico, Canada and the United States.
It appears they had a stable group to choose from, but mounting injuries may have opened the door For the marginalized To stake your case for inclusion.
we will start Anthony GordonA recent recurrence of a hip injury meant he played no part in Sunday’s 3-1 defeat to Brentford and subsequently withdrew from international duty. The Newcastle winger is well-supported by Tuchel but the German must now decide on his replacement.
Would the England boss lean towards this style of player? If so, Jack Grealish is set to be recalled. A regular starter for Everton, the 30-year-old has rediscovered his form since leaving Man City in the summer and has scored one goal and four assists in the opening 11 games of the season.
Still, Tuchel could go in a different direction and provide more backup to Kane. In such a situation, Danny Welbeck, who has six goals for Brighton this year, can be recalled at the age of 34.
While questions abound in forward areas, there are more serious concerns defensively. mark guhy Will not play for England Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner admitted in this camp that his centre-back ‘can’t walk’ at the moment due to his injury.
Tuchel has enough cover for him in the squad with the likes of Dan Byrne, Ezri Konsa and John Stones, but will he bring in any other replacements?
Can Manchester United’s Harry Maguire – a permanent fixture for England under Gareth Southgate – force his way back into contention? Maguire’s stature at Old Trafford has grown in recent weeks, with the Red Devils unbeaten in five league matches and now ahead of Liverpool in the table.
Chelsea’s Trevoh Chalobah is also in the frame and is likely even closer to the squad than Maguire due to Tuchel’s prior experience with the London team.
At left-back, Nico O’Reilly hobbled off the field after an impressive performance against Liverpool. The Manchester City man has made a few short appearances in a row, but has expressed his desire to make it to the World Cup, so Tuchel is unlikely to pass up the chance to impress.
But, there are options for the England boss if he is unable to play Miles Lewis-Skelley It’s clear though that Tuchel wants his players to play regularly for their clubs and the Arsenal defender has seen his game time reduced this year.
The other option is Luke Shaw. Like Maguire, he has been impressing with Man Utd and has occupied the left centre-back spot in Ruben Amorim’s 3-4-3 system. Shaw also brings rich experience with 34 England caps to his name.
Then there’s Alexander-Arnold. The Real Madrid defender is a right-back by profession, but his quality on the ball and ability to take passes may make Tuchel want to take a closer look at his skills.
Finally, Nick Pope suffered an injury against Brentford and withdrew from England duty along with Gordon. There is a possibility that James Trafford will be brought back into the team but with Jordan Pickford being the No. 1, this is just a formality.
