England squad is out. Tuchel picked Palmer but left out Rashford and Sancho. Is this the squad to win a World Cup on home soil?

Tuchel confirmed the England World Cup squad this week. Cole Palmer is in. Jude Bellingham, Harry Kane, Bukayo Saka, Declan Rice all confirmed. Kobbie Mainoo in. Noni Madueke in. Jarrod Bowen in despite West Ham's relegation. Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford both out.

England play in Miami, Atlanta, New York, and Dallas if they progress through the knockouts. Group C fixtures: England vs New Zealand June 12, England vs Slovakia June 17, England vs Senegal June 21.

Palmer being in after the leak suggested he was out is the best news from the squad announcement. His ability in tight spaces against deep defences is irreplaceable

Sancho and Rashford both missing is a statement about the standards Tuchel requires off the pitch as much as on it. Both had complicated club situations this season

Senegal on June 21 is the must-win fixture in the group. AFCON champions with Premier League quality throughout the squad. England cannot treat this like a third game that does not matter

[Hannah56]

Mainoo starting in the World Cup for England is the selection I am most excited about. He has the composure and the forward passing that England midfields have historically lacked

[BretHart_Mike]

Playing at Miami, Atlanta, New York, and Dallas means genuine crowd support if they progress. The geography of the US venues gives England a near-home advantage in the knockouts

Tuchel has one warm-up friendly before the tournament starts. The squad need to gel and the system needs to be clear. 11 days is not much time
