England World Cup squad LIVE: Thomas Tuchel announces 26-man picks as big names miss out | OneFootball

All the latest updates as Three Lions boss announces who’s in and who’s out

All eyes will be on Wembley Stadium this morning as England manager Thomas Tuchel announces his 26-man squad for the World Cup. The biggest-ever tournament, which will take place across three host nations - USA, Canada and Mexico - and five weeks, begins in less than a month’s time, and the Three Lions will be gunning to end 60 years of hurt.

Tuchel submitted a 55-man long list of names to FIFA last week, which form his provisional squad, and will this morning confirm the 26 which will be on the plane across the pond in a few short weeks. Manchester United defender Harry Maguire has already confirmed his “shock” and “disappointment” at being left out, while the likes of Cole Palmer and Phil Foden have also been overlooked.

There is good news for Arsenal’s Noni Madueke, who Standard Sport understands has been selected, but there remains uncertainty over Eberechi Eze’s spot. Levi Colwill is another to be left at home, having only recently returned from a serious knee injury. The show will begin at 9.45am, follow along below with expert insight and analysis from Dom Smith.

Tuchel addresses player fatigue

"It shows me this league is the strongest league in the world, the most competitive. And it shows on the negative effect our players will be tired after a long season. That's how it is.

"It doesn't make it easier to go to three countries, the big climatic change. We had support from Team GB.

"It will never be an excuse.

"It goes back to getting the load right in pre-camp, getting the attitude right, don't go too early into the 'tunnel'."

Tuchel reveals what England need to win World Cup

"We need a bit of luck We need our selection right. Stay healthy. Catch a momentum. Build a brotherhood. Play with courage, hunger. And take advantage of special moments.

"Once we go hopefully to knockout football it's a game of margins. It won't be done without nerves of steel.

"Not everything is in our hands but it's good to have the goal spoken out. We did this early in the first camp. Then straight away we said let's focus on what we can influence."

Tuchel explains Spence selection

"He was excellent in every match he played for us. He suffers from a third change of coach at his club, since then he doesn't get a lot of minutes. He suffers from the situation, is part of the situation at Tottenham.

"He loves defending, he's the fastest player in our squad and he loves defending one-on-ones. That's what makes him a special full-back for us. He can play both sides.

"Before the March camp we said 'you don't get the minutes [with Spurs]' if you come here you have to prove yourself again. And Djed and Tino were excellent against Uruguay. That was the decision I could really trust him."

Tuchel on Stones inclusion

"I'm a huge believer in John. I think he's a world-class player, amazing character and proven winner.

"He knows how to adapt tactically on the field. He's still on the highest level when I see him play. We analysed a lot of his training data because there's not a lot of evidence in the second half of the season.

"We can take advantage of our late start in the tournament in this case. We have the chance to let him play two friendly matches then I believe he will have a strong tournament for us."

Tuchel makes Bowen admission

"Jarrod was excellent in every camp for us and then gets the phone call he's not on the plane.

"Does he suffer with the situation at his camp? Does Noni and Bukayo benefit from the situation at their club?

"The reaction of Jarrod was outstanding - it proved again the character he is.

"Noni - I believe he can be a difference-maker, in his ability to change matches and disrupt defensive organisations with his one-on-one ability."

Tuchel on Bellingham vs Rogers No10 battle

"They are two of the names of potential starters on the same position. They can also play together. If they compete for one position, it is possible as accomplices, you don't have to be enemies. They are friends anyway.

"Bukayo and Noni fight for the same place in the club. You can fight and push your friend to the best possible performance."
