· AI-Generated · BBC News

Everton midfielder James Garner and Brighton goalkeeper Jason Steele are the two uncapped players named by Thomas Tuchel in an expanded 35-man England squad. The squad sees recalls for Manchester United duo Harry Maguire and Kobbie Mainoo, while AC Milan defender Fikayo Tomori is back for the first time since October 2023. Leeds striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin returns after more than five years since his last call-up and Dominic Solanke makes his first squad since October 2024. However, there is no place in Tuchel's squad for Real Madrid full-back Trent Alexander-Arnold, Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott or Aston Villa forward Ollie Watkins. Chelsea's Reece James and Trevoh Chalobah, who were named in the last squad, miss out through injury. The Three Lions continue their World Cup preparations with friendlies at Wembley Stadium against Uruguay on 27 March and Japan on 31 March.
