German coach Thomas Tuchel is preparing to lead the England national team in his first official test, when he faces his Albanian counterpart on Friday evening at Wembley, in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.
Despite the announcement of a list of a list of 26 players, the regulations obligate each team to determine only 23 players for each match, which prompted the technical staff to exclude three names from the first confrontation under his leadership.
According to the newspaper “Daily Mail”, the players who were excluded are Morgan Gibbs-White (Nottingham Forest), Garyl Kwansah (Liverpool), and Irun Ramzel (Arsenal).
The exclusion of Gibs-White came as a surprise, especially since he joined the replacement of Cole Palmer, who withdrew due to the injury, and he also provides a distinguished performance with Nutingham this season.
As for the absence of Kwansah, it was not expected, due to his lack of participation with Liverpool. As for the Arsenal, the reserve goalkeeper, he was expected to be excluded due to the presence of other options at the goalkeeper.
Tawjil hopes to achieve a strong start with the “Three Lions”, and the team’s leadership towards winning the World Cup qualification card, amid great public anticipation for the future of the national team under his leadership.
