Hello and welcome back to The Lowdown, where today we are picking a 23-man squad for Thomas Tuchel’s 2026 World Cup campaign with England.

3 goalkeepers, 7 defenders, 7 midfielders and 6 forwards… but who did we choose? Is it time to move on from Harry Maguire and John Stones? Is this Trent Alexander-Arnold’s time or could we see the re-introduction of Ben White?

In midfield Declan Rice, Jude Bellingham and Cole Palmer are necessities, but which of Adam Wharton, Morgan Gibbs-White, Morgan Rogers, Phil Foden plus countless others deserve their spots?

Could Ethan Nwaneri or Jamie Gittens make the squad? Have Marcus Rashford, Dominic Solanke or Ollie Watkins done enough to secure their places alongside Harry Kane, Bukayo Saka and Anthony Gordon?

  1. Pickford Henderson Trafford
    TAA James Konsa Guehi Stones Branthwaite Hall MLS
    Rice Wharton Bellingham Mainoo Foden Rogers
    Saka Palmer Rashford Gordon
    Kane Watkins

    Harsh on MGW Bowen Gray Spence Anderson Eze CHO Delap Colwill Jones

  2. Henderson, Pope, Trafford

    Hall, Skelly

    Stones, Guehi, Branthwaite, White

    Trent, Livramento

    Rice, Wharton, Jones, Bellingham

    Saka, Palmer, Gordon, MGW, Rogers

    Kane, Watkins, Delap

    arguments for CHO, Foden, Bowen, Gittens etc. but MGW & Rogers have the power & intensity to influence off the bench

  3. No mention of Spence at LB/RB? If he continues with his form this year he could be a great option that can cover both sides, can play in both back 4 and 5 too.

  4. I’m definitely biased, but I think Eze has to been in the squad, but not as a winger. I think being given the freedom to roam around and link-up with wingers suits him much better than playing to 1 side. (I’d take him over Foden).

  5. My 23, 4-3-3
    GK. Pickford, Henderson, Trafford
    RB. Trent, Livramento
    LB. Hall, Skelly
    CB. Stones, Konsa
    CB. Guehi, Braithwaite

    CDM. Wharton, Jones
    RCM. Bellingham, MGW
    LCM. Rice, Gallagher

    RF. Saka, Bowen
    CF. Kane, Watkins
    LF. Gordon, Rashford

    Possibles to come into the Squad: James, Colwill, Gomes, Rogers, Foden, Palmer, Solanke

  6. Why is Foden not under more scrutiny for his place? He's never done well for England, nobody can decide his best position and what we think it is (in the 10 region) has Palmer and Jude in those spaces. He can't play wide for England either so why bring him?

  7. Okay this is the real England 23 man squad

    GK=Pickford /Henderson
    RB=Trent,Livramento
    CB=Konsa,Maguire
    CB=Burn, Branthwaite
    LB:Hall, MLS
    DM=Rice, Wharton,Gallagher
    CM=MGW,Rogers
    CM=Palmer,Jude
    RM:Saka,
    CF:Kane/Watkins
    LM:Gordon/Bowen

  8. Sam’s reasoning was a bit odd. Contradictions with No Stones because of injuries but then argues Reece James has to be involved. Then Bowen (which I agree) for his XP over Nwaneri but then argues Rogers with lack of XP has to be in. As a Man Utd fan, I can honestly admit currently it’s a no-brainer to choose Jones over Mainoo.
