Thomas Tuchel Announces England Squad Ahead of Crucial World Cup Qualifiers

England’s head coach, Thomas Tuchel, has unveiled a 24-player roster for the upcoming World Cup qualifying matches against Andorra and Serbia, according to Soccernet.ng.

Since taking over the reins in January, the former Borussia Dortmund manager has guided the Three Lions through four fixtures, securing victory in three of them. England currently leads their World Cup qualifying group, boasting a perfect record with nine points from three matches. The team aims to extend this unbeaten streak through the international break.

Key Players Included in Tuchel’s Squad

Tuchel’s selection features established internationals such as captain Harry Kane, goalkeeper Jordan Pickford, defender John Stones, midfielder Declan Rice, and forward Ollie Watkins. These players have been instrumental in England’s strong start to the qualification campaign.

However, notable absences include Trent Alexander-Arnold and Jude Bellingham, both sidelined due to muscular and shoulder injuries respectively, which have kept them out of contention for this international window.

Tosin Adarabioyo’s Omission: A Potential Advantage for Nigeria’s Super Eagles

Among the players left out of the squad is Chelsea defender Tosin Adarabioyo, 27, who remains eligible to represent either England or Nigeria at senior international level. Despite his impressive performances for Chelsea, Tosin has yet to earn a senior cap for either nation.

Following Chelsea’s recent Club World Cup triumph in the United States, Adarabioyo visited Nigeria and spoke candidly about his international future. He emphasized that he has not dismissed the possibility of representing the Super Eagles and is carefully weighing his options.

“It’s a decision I’m seriously considering,” Adarabioyo told Arise TV. “I hope to make a final choice soon. This has been a topic for many years since I turned professional, but I want to make the best decision after considering all factors.”

Despite his recent rise at Chelsea, Adarabioyo has not been a primary candidate for England’s senior team. His exclusion from this latest squad further diminishes his chances of representing England at the 2026 World Cup, potentially accelerating his decision to commit to Nigeria.

With the 2026 FIFA World Cup approaching, the defender has acknowledged that the tournament will heavily influence his international allegiance. His absence from England’s qualifiers could be a significant development for the Super Eagles, who are eager to bolster their squad with talented dual nationals ahead of the global event.
