Thomas Tuchel has plenty to think about before naming his 26-man England World Cup squad in JuneON THE PLANEBy my reckoning, there are 21 guaranteed spots among the squad. Uruguay last week and then Tuesday night only served to further indicate the major drop-off between England’s very best – Harry Kane, Declan Rice – and the rest. The same goes for Reece James, while Harry Maguire has to earn a spot despite the manager’s suggestions to the contrary a few days ago. Three goalkeepers – Jordan Pickford, Dean Henderson and James Trafford – should all be there. Morgan Rogers will push for a start and Jordan Henderson acts as the everyman who did impress against Uruguay.
