Thomas Tuchel’s First England Squad Announcement for World Cup Qualifiers
In a surprising turn of events, Marcus Rashford has been called up by Thomas Tuchel in his debut squad selection as the England manager for the upcoming World Cup Qualifiers in March. Rashford, who has had a challenging season, was dropped by Manchester United’s manager Ruben Amorim back in December and has not seen any game time since December 12. However, his fortunes took a positive turn when he made a loan move to Aston Villa in January, showcasing improved performances. Notably, he has contributed with four assists and played a crucial role in guiding the club to the Champions League quarter-finals, scoring a vital goal against Club Brugge just this Wednesday.
Reviving his international career, Rashford is back in the Three Lions’ set-up after his last appearance in March last year as a substitute against Brazil at Wembley. Alongside Rashford, Jordan Henderson has also made a return to the squad, marking a significant comeback under Tuchel’s guidance. Furthermore, Tuchel has introduced a fresh face to the squad, Myles Lewis-Skelly, the Arsenal midfielder, who receives his first senior call-up, despite never earning an U21 cap.
Noteworthy additions to the squad include Newcastle defender Dan Burn, who earns his first call-up for England across all levels, and Aston Villa’s Morgan Rogers, who is selected again following his senior debut last November.
