Thomas Tuchel England squad announcement | 2026 FIFA World Cup

Thomas Tuchel speaks at Wembley Stadium after announcing his England squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The England head coach explains why he has selected a balanced 26-player group, stressing that teams win championships and that roles, team spirit, leadership and set-piece options were central to his decisions. Tuchel discusses Ivan Toney’s inclusion, the omissions of Phil Foden, Cole Palmer, Harry Maguire, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Morgan Gibbs-White, and why he believes players such as John Stones, Noni Madueke and Djed Spence can play important roles. He also talks about Morgan Rogers and Jude Bellingham competing together, England’s Florida pre-camp, squad rotation, tournament fatigue and the aim of trying to win the World Cup. 📺 Please subscribe, like the video and share wherever you can! 👉    / @englandfanzone   ⚠️ DO NOT copy and re-upload any part of this video anywhere otherwise copyright strikes will be made!
