Tuchel bets on pace and flexibility as England name a sprint-focused World Cup squad

Thomas Tuchel’s England World Cup squad emphasizes athleticism and versatility, dropping several Euro 2024 names and leaning on pacey, multi-position players (Madueke, Livramento, Spence, Quansah) alongside a bulk of Arsenal and City representatives (Rice, Saka, Guehi, O’Reilly, Stones). The 26-man group mixes experience (Kane, Henderson, Rice) with younger talents and a plan to exploit width and pace, while maintaining a reliable spine in goal (Pickford, Henderson, Trafford) and a front line of Kane, Toney and Watkins.
