Thomas Tuchel will officially announce his England World Cup squad later this Friday morning.
Ahead of that official launch though, there has been any number of leaks.
Sources telling journalists those who have and haven’t made the England World Cup squad.
Indeed, Harry Maguire has gone very public with his own leak.
The Man U player shamefully breaking the confidence and trust of Thomas Tuchel, Harry Maguire going on social media after having been informed by the England boss that he hasn’t been included.
As people have been saying after Maguire’s disgraceful outburst (and the Man U defender’s mam has also used social media to say it is a disgrace that the England boss hasn’t selected her little Harry!), just imagine if one of the central defenders that Tuchel has selected now gets injured. With Harry Maguire having behaved as he has, surely no way Thomas Tuchel could now pick him as the replacement.
Looking elsewhere at what the more reliable journalists have reported, the England World Cup squad leaks. These are some of the players they have named who they understand have AND haven’t made the 26 man squad.

The England World Cup squad will fly to the United States in 11 days time (1 June 2026) and play friendlies against New Zealand on 6 June and against Costa Rica on 10 June in World Cup warm-up games whilst based at their preparation camp in Florida.
England are in Group L and face Croatia on 17 June, Ghana on 23 June, then play against Panama on 26 June in their final group match.
The top two in each four-team World Cup group automatically progress and then the eight best performing of the twelve teams that end up third in the groups.
