Thomas Tuchel is scheduled to announce his first England squad since the 2026 World Cup on Friday, September 18, 2026. This selection follows the team's third-place finish at the tournament, which concluded with a 6-4 victory over France in the bronze-medal match.
The upcoming squad will be missing several key players due to injury, with Jordan Henderson, Dean Henderson, and John Stones excluded from consideration. Additionally, Ivan Toney is unavailable for the international break as he attends a court appearance regarding a charge of assault causing actual bodily harm.
The Football Association is currently reviewing the 2026 World Cup campaign, a process that included contributions from Tuchel and his staff during late August.
Provisional squad members under consideration for the upcoming fixtures include Rio Ngumoha, Lewis Hall, Alex Scott, Myles Lewis-Skelly, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Cole Palmer, and Phil Foden. These players are being assessed ahead of England's Nations League matches against Spain, the Czech Republic, and Croatia.
