England manager Thomas Tuchel has announced a 27-man squad for the upcoming UEFA Nations League campaign, featuring the high-profile returns of Trent Alexander-Arnold and Cole Palmer. Both players were notably absent from the squad that secured third place at the 2026 World Cup.
Tuchel emphasized that the team aims to build on the spirit shown during their recent World Cup run as they look toward Euro 2028. The squad also includes several new or returning faces, such as Rio Ngumoha, Alex Scott, and Jarrad Branthwaite. However, several players from the World Cup roster, including Phil Foden, Harry Maguire, and Jordan Henderson, have been omitted.
Regarding Harry Maguire, Tuchel indicated that the defender faces a difficult path to reintegration following previous tensions regarding his omission from the World Cup. The upcoming Nations League schedule includes matches against Spain, the Czech Republic, and Croatia.
