Phil Foden has been left out of England's World Cup squad as head coach Thomas Tuchel finalizes his selections ahead of the tournament. Despite a strong season with Manchester City, Foden's recent performances have raised concerns, leading to his exclusion. Meanwhile, 21-year-old Kobbie Mainoo has made a notable return to the squad after a dip in form earlier in the season, now thriving under Manchester United's coach Michael Carrick. Mainoo played a crucial role in England's journey to the final of the 2024 European Championship, and his inclusion reflects his regained form. Arsenal's Noni Madueke and Newcastle's Tino Livramento have also been selected, with Madueke contributing significantly to his club's success this season. England's squad will face Croatia in their opening match on June 17, followed by games against Ghana and Panama. The team will travel to the U.S. on June 1 for warm-up matches against New Zealand and Costa Rica.
