Marcus Rashford has made his return to the England squad as Thomas Tuchel has announced his first squad for the upcoming FIFA World Cup Qualifiers. Rashford hasn't played for the Three Lions for a long time but he has been impressive since joining Aston Villa on loan from Manchester United in the January transfer window.
Tuchel also included Jordan Henderson in the squad, who has had a tumultuous time off late. The former Liverpool midfielder's much-hyped transfer to the Saudi Pro League side Al-Ettifaq didn't pan out the way he had hoped and he went on to join Ajax in a bid to keep himself in the hunt for a place in the England Football Team.
Both Rashford and Henderson weren't selected for the European Championship and both will be determined to stamp their place in the squad. Arsenal's Myles Lewis-Skelly and Newcastle United's Dan Burn also received their maiden call-up. Ollie Watkins missed out on a spot due to a knee injury he suffered on Wednesday in the Champions League.
Both Declan Rice and Jude Bellingham have been named by Thomas Tuchel while Bayern Munich frontman Harry Kane is expected to lead the team once again.
Goalkeepers: Dean Henderson (Crystal Palace), Jordan Pickford (Everton), Aaron Ramsdale (Southampton), James Trafford (Burnley)
Defenders: Dan Burn (Newcastle United), Levi Colwill (Chelsea), Marc Guehi (Crystal Palace), Reece James (Chelsea), Ezri Konsa (Aston Villa), Myles Lewis-Skelly (Arsenal), Tino Livramento (Newcastle United), Jarell Quansah (Liverpool), Kyle Walker (AC Milan, loan from Manchester City)
