England national team announce the official squad World Cup 2022 in Qatar which contains 26 players. AC Milan defender Fikayo Tomori was excluded, England called Harry Maguire.
England at the World Cup with a defender in crisis. Two players playing as full backs have to skip this four-year tournament: Ben Chilwell and Reece James. But enter the name Trent Alexander-Arnold.
Building on three center backs in the back row, England brought in players who played as center backs, including Harry Maguire, Eric Dier and John Stones. There is no name Fikayo Tomori that shines with Milan.
In the 26-man squad for the 2022 World Cup, manager Gareth Southgate brought in three goalkeepers to fill: Aaron Ramsdale, Jordan Pickford and Nick Pope.
Old faces still fill the midfield of Euro 2020 runners-up such as Jordan Henderson, Declan Rice, to Kalvin Phillips who has just recovered from a shoulder injury. Only Conor Gallagher was a surprise who “removed” James Ward-Prowse.
There is no name for Brentford forward Ivan Toney in the front row of the Three Lions. Toney is said to have entered the England squad before being reduced to 26 players.
At the forefront, Southgate still relies on Harry Kane, who is the team captain. Kane is likely to be accompanied by two wings which could be filled by Marcus Rashford, Raheem Sterling, or Phil Foden.
England squad for the 2022 World Cup:
Kiper: Jordan Pickford, Nick Pope, Aaron Ramsdale,
Belakang: Trent Alexander-Arnold, Conor Coady, Eric Dier, Harry Maguire, Luke Shaw, John Stones, Kieran Trippier, Kyle Walker, Ben White.
Tengah: Jude Bellingham, Conor Gallagher, Jordan Henderson, Mason Mount, Kalvin Phillips, Declan Rice.
Forwards: James Maddison, Phil Foden, Jack Grealish, Harry Kane, Marcus Rashford, Bukayo Saka, Raheem Sterling, Callum Wilson.
