"Goalkeepers (3) Jordan Pickford, Dean Henderson, Nick Pope Pickford is as nailed down a number one as it is possible to be and is set for his third World Cup between the posts barring any calamity. Henderson is regularly excellent in goal for Palace who continue to impress, and James Trafford's relegation to the Manchester City bench opens up a spot. Nick Pope is a reliable third-choice option uunless Tuchel thinks taking Trafford will be a beneficial experience for tournaments to come."
"Defenders (8) Ezri Konsa, John Stones, Marc Guehi, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Dan Burn, Djed Spence, Reece James, Myles Lewis-Skelly The area of Tuchel's squad causing most concern? England's backline looks far from assured and there could be plenty of movement here. John Stones looks a likely starter if fit - a big if - while Marc Guuehi is definitely first choice now."
England qualified for the World Cup after a 5-0 win over Latvia, leaving manager Thomas Tuchel roughly eight months to finalize a 26-man squad. Jordan Pickford, Dean Henderson and Nick Pope form a likely three-man goalkeeping group, with Trafford mentioned as an alternative. Defensive selection is unsettled, with John Stones and Marc Guehi seen as central options while full‑back depth is limited and players such as Trent Alexander-Arnold and Reece James must prove fitness. Midfield likely centres on Declan Rice and Jude Bellingham, with additional places for Morgan Rogers, Morgan Gibbs‑White, Elliot Anderson, Jordan Henderson and Cole Palmer. Attacking choices will depend on form.
