Marcus Rashford has shared his excitement after being recalled to the England squad for the upcoming FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Albania and Latvia. The Aston Villa forward, who had been dropped from recent England squads by former manager Gareth Southgate, took to social media to express his joy, posting on Instagram, “Never stop believing. Can’t wait to get started.”
England’s new manager, Thomas Tuchel, named his first squad since taking over, featuring a strong lineup with stars like Harry Kane, Jude Bellingham, and Phil Foden. Chelsea’s Reece James also returns after recovering from injury.
The goalkeeping department remains unchanged with Jordan Pickford (Everton), Aaron Ramsdale (Southampton), Dean Henderson (Crystal Palace), and James Trafford (Burnley) all included in the squad.
In defence, experienced players such as Kyle Walker (AC Milan), Marc Guéhi (Crystal Palace), and Reece James (Chelsea) are joined by younger talents like Myles Lewis-Skelly (Arsenal) and Jarell Quansah (Liverpool). Newcastle’s Dan Burn, Tino Livramento, Levi Colwill (Chelsea), and Ezri Konsa (Aston Villa) complete the defensive options.
Midfield sees the leadership of Declan Rice (Arsenal) and Jordan Henderson (Ajax), alongside the creativity of Eberechi Eze (Crystal Palace), Curtis Jones (Liverpool), Cole Palmer (Chelsea), Morgan Rogers (Aston Villa), and Jude Bellingham (Real Madrid).
Captain Harry Kane (Bayern Munich) leads the attack, with Rashford, Phil Foden (Manchester City), Jarrod Bowen (West Ham), Anthony Gordon (Newcastle), and Dominic Solanke (Tottenham Hotspur) adding depth in the forward line.
With Rashford and James back in the fold, Tuchel will be aiming for a strong start to his tenure as England manager.
