With the World Cup kicking off in North America next month, the biggest news in the media on Friday is the omission of notable stars from Thomas Tuchel's contingent to the tournament.

In a sensational plot twist, the former Chelsea and PSG manager has left out Trent Alexander-Arnold, Chelsea's duo of Cole Palmer and Levi Colwill, and the duo of Harry Maguire and Luke Shaw from Manchester United.

The inclusion of players like Tino Livramento, who has been injured for an extended period, is also noteworthy. 

Jordan Henderson, Ivan Toney, who plays in Saudi Arabia, and Djed Spence will raise eyebrows. 

The inclusion of Jarrel Quansah is another decision that is likely to spark debate among pundits.

Tuchel also went further to drop fans' favorite Phil Foden of Manchester City, Newcastle's Lewis Hall, and Nottingham Forest captain Morgan Gibbs-White. 

Jarrod Bowen, Alex Scott, Fikayo Tomori, and Dominic Calvert-Lewin all miss out.

Full England List:

Goalkeepers: Jordan Pickford. Dean Henderson. James Trafford.

Defenders: Reece James. Jarrel Quansah. Dan Burn. Djed Spence. Tino Livramento. Nico O'Rielly. Ezri Konsa. Marc Guehi. John Stones.

Midfielders: Declan Rice. Kobbie Mainoo. Elliot Anderson. Jordan Henderson. Jude Bellingham. Morgan Rodgers. Eberechi Eze.

Attackers: Harry Kane. Ollie Watkins. Ivan Toney. Noni Madueke. Bukayo Saka. Marcus Rashford. Anthony Gordon.

England will open their World Cup account against 2018 finalists Croatia before playing against Ghana and then Panama in Group L.
