Ivan Toney handed shock England recall by Tuchel

Ivan Toney has been recalled to England‘s latest senior squad for matches against Andorra and Senegal while Phil Foden was omitted following talks with head coach Thomas Tuchel.

The 29-year-old moved to Saudi Pro League club Al Ahli last summer and his previous international cap came in the Euro 2024 final defeat to Spain.

Toney has scored 28 goals in 42 appearances this season and Tuchel is keen to see how he integrates to the 26-man group.

Foden asked to be left out after admitting off-field issues had affected his season with Manchester City.

Real Madrid midfielder Jude Bellingham has been included despite scheduled shoulder surgery after the Club World Cup in the United States.

Chelsea defender Trevor Chalobah has received his first call up while Conor Gallagher has been recalled after a fine season at Atlético Madrid.

There was no place for Tottenham Hotspur‘s Dominic Solanke, while Jarrod Bowen of West Ham has also been left out.

Marcus Rashford, who spent the second half of the season on loan at Aston Villa from Manchester United, is ruled out through injury.

Goalkeepers: Dean Henderson,, Jordan Pickford, James Trafford

Defenders: Trent Alexander-Arnold, Dan Burn, Trevoh Chalobah, Levi Colwill, Reece James, Ezri Konsa, Myles Lewis-Skelly, Kyle Walker

Midfielders: Jude Bellingham, Conor Gallagher, Morgan Gibbs-White, Jordan Henderson, Curtis Jones, Cole Palmer, Declan Rice, Morgan Rogers
