Thomas Tuchel to Pick Three Strikers, Watkins and Toney in Frame
Thomas Tuchel is set to announce his 26‑man England World Cup squad. He will select three strikers, with Ollie Watkins and Ivan Toney both in contention for a call‑up.
Ollie Watkins has emerged as a potential candidate for the squad. His name appears among the forwards being evaluated for a World Cup spot.
Ivan Toney is also listed among the forwards under review. He could secure a place if selected as one of the three strikers.
The three‑striker limit means the manager must make tough choices. It underscores the competitive nature of the forward positions.
The squad size is fixed at 26 players for the tournament. All selections must fit within this roster limit.
If both Watkins and Toney are chosen, they would occupy two of the three striker positions. This would leave only one slot for another forward.
