England's omitted XI includes striker Ivan Toney

England’s national football team is in the spotlight as new manager Thomas Tuchel announces his first squad. His choices have surprised many fans and analysts, particularly his decision to leave out several high-profile players. Notably, Marcus Rashford and Jordan Henderson were recalled for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Albania and Latvia. Rashford, currently on loan at Aston Villa, has not played for England since March 2024. Henderson’s inclusion has sparked debate, with many believing younger players would be better options. Several players, including Conor Gallagher and James Maddison, were left out despite strong performances. Former player Jason Cundy expressed confusion over Henderson’s call-up, suggesting it may surprise Henderson himself. Others feel players like Gallagher deserve a spot due to their recent form. The squad is dealing with injuries to key players like Bukayo Saka and John Stones, but still, many talented players were omitted. Tuchel included four goalkeepers but excluded Newcastle’s Nick Pope, who performed well in a recent cup final. In the omitted XI, which is valued at around £304 million, there are stars like Gallagher and Maddison, who have been in great form this season. Ivan Toney, a striker who has scored 22 goals in Saudi Arabia this season, leads the line but is unlikely to return to England's squad soon. Fans are eager to see how Tuchel's management style will impact the team as they prepare for the crucial matches ahead. A special documentary on Tuchel's journey will be aired soon, providing more insight into his vision for the team.
