Thomas Tuchel is set to announce England's World Cup squad on Friday. Two spectacular decisions have now been leaked. A star player who has been left out went public the day before.

Manchester United defender Harry Maguire has confirmed that he has been left out of Thomas Tuchel's England squad for the 2026 World Cup. The 33-year-old, who has been a mainstay for the Three Lions over the last decade, has admitted he is "gutted" not to be part of the final 26-man group that will travel to North America this summer.

Harry Kane is in no immediate hurry to put pen to paper on a new deal at Bayern Munich despite the Bavarian's eagerness to secure his long-term future, according to the club's president Herbert Hainer. The England captain is enjoying life in Bavaria but is content to wait until after the World Cup to formalise any extension at the Allianz Arena.

It's finally decision time for Thomas Tuchel, who is set to name his final England squad for the 2026 World Cup. Tuchel's brief for the role was quite simple when he began work in March 2025: ensure the Three Lions lift the trophy for the first time in 60 long years. Now, the German tactician must pick the 26 players who he believes can get the job done in North America as the tournament looms large.
