Thomas Tuchel wows fans with his first squad as England head coach
Newly appointed England head coach Thomas Tuchel has made a strong impression with his first squad selection ahead of the March 2025 international break.
The German tactician, known for his tactical acumen and ability to reshape teams, has introduced fresh faces while also recalling experienced names as he prepares for his debut match in charge.
Among the notable inclusions, Arsenal’s Myles Lewis-Skelly and Newcastle’s Dan Burn have received their maiden call-ups to the senior national team.
Meanwhile, seasoned veterans Jordan Henderson and Kyle Walker have been brought back into the fold, with Marcus Rashford also earning another opportunity at international level.
However, Tuchel’s selection raised eyebrows with the omission of key players such as James Maddison, Jack Grealish, Morgan Gibbs-White, Angel Gomes, Adam Wharton, and Harry Maguire.

While some were overlooked for tactical reasons, others missed out due to injury concerns. It remains to be seen whether they will be reintegrated in future call-ups.
