Thomas Tuchel drops big names from England’s World Cup squad

MANCHESTER: (May 22) ( Big names were left out of England’s World Cup squad on Friday, with Phil Foden and Cole Palmer the most notable omissions from Thomas Tuchel’s roster.

There was no place either for Real Madrid defender Trent Alexander-Arnold or Manchester United duo Harry Maguire and Luke Shaw.

Maguire confirmed on Thursday he would not be going to the tournament in the United States, Canada and Mexico, saying he was “shocked and gutted” not to be included. There were further shock waves among England fans when it became clear that more Premier League stars had been dropped.
