England's first national football team head coach, Thomas Tuchel, revealed his squad for the upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Andorra and Serbia.

The official list, published by the FA, excluded Trent Alexander-Arnold. Earlier reports revealed that Alexander-Arnold faces an uncertain future at Real Madrid.

The complete list of the England squad for the upcoming fixtures is as follows:

Goalkeepers: Dean Henderson (Crystal Palace), Jordan Pickford (Everton), James Trafford (Burnley)

Defenders: Dan Burn (Newcastle United), John Stones (Manchester City), Levi Colwill (Chelsea), Reece James (Chelsea), Ezri Konsa (Aston Villa), Myles Lewis-Skelly (Arsenal)

Midfielders: Conor Gallagher (Atlético Madrid), Morgan Gibbs-White (Nottingham Forest), Jordan Henderson (Ajax), Cole Palmer (Chelsea), Declan Rice (Arsenal), Morgan Rogers (Aston Villa)

Forwards: Eberechi Eze (Crystal Palace), Anthony Gordon (Newcastle United), Harry Kane (Bayern Munich), Noni Madueke (Chelsea), Ollie Watkins (Aston Villa), Marcus Rashford (Barcelona), Jarrod Bowen (West Ham United)

England are currently at the top of their qualifying group after three straight wins without conceding a goal. Andorra, by contrast, sit bottom of the table with no points after defeats to Latvia, Albania, and England.
