England's outsiders: Trent Alexander-Arnold, Morgan Gibbs-White & 10 players who could still squeeze into Thomas Tuchel's World Cup squad - ranked
The Clock is Ticking for Thomas Tuchel
The clock is ticking down to a potentially tenure-defining decision for Thomas Tuchel, who will be putting the final touches to his England squad for the 2026 World Cup.
Fringe Players' Last Chance
However, there is still time for those on the fringes to make a late push into the manager's thinking as the season enters his final weeks. Some, though, stand a much better chance than others.
- The German tactician must submit his provisional 35 to 55-man group by May 11 - one month prior to the tournament getting under way.
- He will then cut that down to a final 26.
Selection Process
By this late stage, you would expect the Three Lions boss to be pretty certain of who will be joining him on board the flight to North America this summer, but there is still scope for some late chopping and changing.
