Paris Soir - Palmer, Foden left out of England World Cup squad

Real Madrid's Trent Alexander Arnold was also left out, with Saudi-based Al-Ahli striker Ivan Toney the surprise inclusion.

Tuchel, a Champions League winner during his time at Chelsea, has been hired to end England's 60-year wait to win a major international tournament.

The former Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich boss has made a series of bold calls which will be harshly judged if the Three Lions fall short of glory in the coming weeks.

Foden and Palmer played a major role in England's run to the final of Euro 2024.

However, Manchester City's Foden and Chelsea playmaker Palmer have paid the price for poor seasons with their clubs.

Nottingham Forest midfielder Morgan Gibbs-White and Leeds striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin have also been overlooked despite being two of the highest-scoring Englishmen in the Premier League this season.

Veteran Brentford midfielder and former Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson has been included at the expense of Crystal Palace's Adam Wharton.

Manchester United defender Harry Maguire said on Thursday he was shocked at not being included.

"I was confident I could (have) played a major part this summer for my country after the season I've had," the 33-year-old posted on social media.

"I've been left shocked and gutted by the decision."

Maguire's Manchester United team-mate Luke Shaw has also been overlooked.

Tuchel has taken a risk on centre-back John Stones despite his lack of involvement at Manchester City during an injury-hit season.

Toney made an impact off the bench at the Euros two years ago, but has played only two minutes of international football since after moving to Saudi Arabia in 2024.

England kick off their World Cup campaign against Croatia in Dallas on June 17, before playing Ghana on June 23 and Panama four days later.
