Thomas Tuchel has recalled Jordan Henderson and Marcus Rashford in his first squad as England’s new manager.
The German has also handed Arsenal full-back Myles Lewis-Skelly and Newcastle defender Dan Burn their first international call-ups.
Manchester City outcast Jack Grealish has been dropped, while Gunners teenager Ethan Nwaneri misses out despite a breakthrough season in the Premier League.
Tuchel was announced as Gareth Southgate’s permanent replacement back in October 2024 following Lee Carsley’s interim reign, becoming only the third foreign manager to take charge of the Three Lions.
The German will take to the dugout for the first time five months later, as the Three Lions begin their qualification campaign for the 2026 World Cup.
Up first is the visit of Albania to Wembley on March 21, followed by another home match against Latvia on March 24.
Tuchel, who officially started work in January, signed an 18-month contract with the FA, taking him up to the end of the 2026 World Cup.
