Tuchel submits 55-man provisional World Cup squad
Thomas Tuchel has submitted his provisional England squad for the World Cup. Luke Shaw, Danny Welbeck and Alex Scott are believed to be among the players named. Trent Alexander-Arnold has also made the preliminary list.
Fifa permitted participating nations to submit a long list of 55 players for the tournament, which starts on 11 June, by midnight on Monday. Alexander-Arnold, Shaw, Welbeck and Scott were all left out of Tuchel's previous squad for the friendlies against Uruguay and Japan. Shaw hasn't played for England since the Euro 2024 final defeat against Spain. Shaw has played 34 times for England, making 36 appearances for his club this season. Welbeck has scored 14 goals for Fabian Hurzeler's team this season. Scott was called up into the senior England squad for the first time in November but was omitted from Tuchel's previous party. Ben White is a major doubt for the World Cup with a knee injury suffered in Sunday's win at West Ham. Tino Livramento is currently unavailable, though there is hope he will be fit for the World Cup. Reece James has also only recently returned from injury. Last year Tuchel said Jarrell Quansah was ahead of Alexander-Arnold in the race for a right-back berth.
Tuchel will now work towards cutting down the squad to a final contingent of 26 players for the tournament in the USA, Canada and Mexico. The Football Association (FA) is planning to release England's final squad for the tournament on Friday, 22 May.
