England National Team Reinstates Walker and Henderson, Excludes Grealish and Alexander-Arnold

The England squad sees the return of veteran players Kyle Walker and Jordan Henderson while younger talents and notable omissions raise eyebrows.

Jordan Henderson and Kyle Walker are reintegrated into the England squad by head coach Thomas Tuchel. The experienced duo joins returning player Marcus Rashford to face Albania and Latvia in World Cup qualifiers. In a surprising twist, neither Jack Grealish nor Trent Alexander-Arnold makes the cut despite their past contributions. Young talents Myles Lewis-Skelly and Dan Burn are also included, looking to mark their exits.

Tuchel confirmed Harry Kane will continue as captain, emphasizing his indispensability in the team’s setup. The squad aims for a balance of experience and youth, with Walker and Henderson tasked with mentoring new players, reflecting a strategy focused on enduring success whilst grooming future talents.
