2026 World Cup qualifying: England squad without Alexander-Arnold

England manager Thomas Tuchel has named his squad for the 2026 World Cup qualifiers scheduled for September.

Jack Grealish, Harry Maguire, and Phil Foden, longtime fixtures in the national team, are also not included in this list. The Three Lions will face Andorra and Serbia during this international window.

• Goalkeepers: Pickford, Henderson, Trafford
• Defenders: Burn, Guehi, James, Konsa, Lewis-Skelly, Livramento, Spence, Stones
• Midfielders: Anderson, Gibbs-White, Henderson, Rice, Rogers, Wharton
• Forwards: Bowen, Eze, Gordon, Kane, Madueke, Rashford, Watkins
