England leave Foden and Palmer out of World Cup squad
LONDON: England will head to next month’s World Cup without several familiar faces after midfielders Phil Foden and Cole Palmer and defender Trent Alexander-Arnold all missed the cutfor manager Thomas Tuchel’s 26-man squad on Friday. There was a surprise recall, however, for former Brentford striker Ivan Toney despite him playing only seven minutes of international football since Euro 2024. Manchester United midfielder Kobbie Mainoo was selected after a return to form in the second half of the season but there was no place for his United teammate Harry Maguire who has been a mainstay of England’s defense in recent tournaments. United’s Luke Shaw also missed out but Manchester City defender John Stones has been selected for his sixth tournament despite making only a handful of league appearances this season. Real Madrid right back Alexander-Arnold has featured only once since Tuchel took charge of England in January 2025 and his omission was not a surprise. Brentford’s veteran midfielder Jordan Henderson, a firm favorite of Tuchel for his leadership qualities, becomes only the second England player to make four World Cup squads after 1966 World Cup winner Bobby Charlton.

Arsenal confirmed Tuesday that White had suffered a “significant medial knee ligament injury” during the team’s 1-0 win over West Ham. The team has three matches remaining as Arsenal attempts to win the Premier League and Champions League.
