Rashford returns as Tuchel names first England squad

Thomas Tuchel named his first squad list as England manager. The German coach, who will make his debut in the Three Lions' dugout against Albania in the 2026 World Cup Qualifiers, has 26 players in his squad for the March international window.

Harry Kane and Jude Bellingham lead the England squad, which includes Jordan Henderson and Kyle Walker, whose performances in recent months seemed to have kept them out of the national team. In addition, Tuchel is also looking to bring in some new faces such as Lewis-Skelly, who could make his debut for England at just 18 years of age after making a good impression at Arsenal.

Rashford last played for the Three Lions a year ago, but has been revitalised since a January loan move to Aston Villa from Manchester United. Henderson, 34, made the last of his 81 appearances for England back in November 2023.
