On Friday, it’s time for the World Cup selection for the Three Lions. A selection that is guaranteed to make waves on the ball island. Thomas Tuchel is going into his first championship as England national team manager and has selected his favourites. Or in other words, the players who together will secure England the World Cup title after 60 years of title drought. Three Premier League stars have to make do with watching England’s games from the TV room.
According to the BBC, national team coach Thomas Tuchel has opted out of two attacking stars in his squad of 26 players, both of whom have struggled to maintain their level consistently throughout the season.

The two players are Phil Foden and Cole Palmer.
Iron man Harry Magurie will not be allowed to participate in the World Championships either, it is reported.
The 33-year-old Maguire has 66 caps for England on his CV, while Foden and Palmer are listed for 49 and 14 games respectively.
England will face Croatia, Ghana and Panama in Group L, i.e. without the three Premier League profiles. That says a lot about the level of players Thomas Tuchel can choose from.
