England has announced a 35-man squad for upcoming matches against Japan and Uruguay this month, with Leeds striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin making a return after an impressive season. Manager Thomas Tuchel is finalizing his squad as the World Cup approaches, following a successful qualifying campaign.
The team will face Uruguay at Wembley on March 27 and then play Japan four days later. The matches are seen as crucial tests before the World Cup opener against Croatia in June. England has won their last six games without conceding a goal, showcasing Tuchel’s trust in the players who have performed well in qualifiers.
New faces in the squad include Everton’s James Garner and Manchester United’s duo Harry Maguire and Kobbie Mainoo. Lewi Hall from Newcastle, who has been in top form as a left-back, has also been included. The squad features five goalkeepers, including Manchester City’s James Trafford.
The forward line sees the inclusion of Dominic Solanke alongside Harry Kane and Calvert-Lewin, while Arsenal’s Max Dowman misses out despite his recent achievements. The midfield comprises regulars like Elliot Anderson, Morgan Rogers, Declan Rice, and Adam Wharton, with Garner also getting a nod.
The squad is filled with promising talent from various clubs, aiming to strengthen the team for upcoming challenges. Further updates on this news story will be provided by Mirror Sport. Stay tuned for the latest developments and follow on various platforms for more updates.
