The new head coach wants his team to play like a Premier League club - will that work in modern international football?

Thomas Tuchel's first England squad is in, and it's fair to say there are a few surprises. Seasoned internationals Marcus Rashford and Jordan Henderson have returned, while there are first call-ups for Myles Lewis-Skelly and Dan Burn and no place at all for Morgan Gibbs-White and Jack Grealish.

Tuchel was appointed England manager in October after Lee Carsley held the fort following Gareth Southgate’s departure. The former Chelsea boss was handed an 18-month contract and took the reins at the start of January, with his primary focus centred around winning the 2026 World Cup.
