And the Three Lions will also host Senegal in a friendly at Nottingham Forest‘s City Ground on June 10.

The team will reportedly travel to Spain a few days early to attend the Spanish Grand Prix.

Former Brentford striker Toney returns for the first time since Euro 2024 heartbreak after a shock scoring spree for Saudi Pro League side Al-Ahli.

And uncapped Chelsea defender Chalobah’s call-up is his first with the senior squad after several appearances at England youth levels. 

Chalobah’s inclusion comes as a shock given his tough start to the season, being loaned out to Crystal Palace before being recalled to Stamford Bridge to cover defensive injuries in January.

Phil Foden missed out on a place in the squad while he recovers from an ankle injury picked up in April.

Meanwhile, Real Madrid ace Jude Bellingham has been included, even though he faces shoulder surgery after the Club World Cup.

Jarrod Bowen has been surprisingly dropped for Noni Madueke, but the West Ham winger heading on his stag do in Las Vegas before marrying Love Island star Dani Dyer next week.

But players from Manchester City, Chelsea, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich have been selected.

That means captain Harry Kane, Atletico Madrid’s Conor Gallagher, Chelsea stars Chalobah and Cole Palmer, and Bellingham find themselves with a busy period ahead.

The clubs involved in the tournament were eager for nations – not just England – to release their players from June’s international window.

The FA cited the Club World Cup as a “significant challenge” for protecting player welfare which could also have “financial implications”.

Meanwhile, Jordan Henderson has been named again, with Adam Wharton and Marc Guehi absent after reportedly picking up knocks in Palace‘s FA Cup heroic final win over Man City.

Marcus Rashford misses out on back-to-back call ups after being ruled out for the season with a hamstring issue for loan side Aston Villa.

Rashford’s parent club Manchester United have ZERO representatives, with Harry Maguire also snubbed days after losing the Europa League final to Spurs.

Europa League hero Dominic Solanke won’t go along either after ending Tottenham’s 17-year trophy drought against Man Utd in Bilbao.

Manchester City’s Kyle Walker, on loan at AC Milan, keeps his place along with Villa’s Morgan Rogers, Liverpool’s Curtis Jones and Arsenal’s Myles Lewis-Skelly.

Aaron Ramsdale hasn’t made the cut after being relegated with Southampton, while Burnley hero James Trafford, 22, is included.

Tuchel stressed after victories over Latvia and Albania in March that he now has 384 DAYS until the 2026 World Cup begins.

The German manager was brought in to replace Gareth Southgate with a remit to win the tournament.

Tuchel has overseen two wins from two since taking charge of the Three Lions at the start of the year and England sit top of Group K in Europe’s World Cup qualifiers. 

They defeated Albania 2-0 and Latvia 3-0 during Tuchel’s first camp with Lewis-Skelly, Eberechi Eze and Kane in particular impressing the former Chelsea boss.
