22 May 2026
Several England hopefuls made late pushes for World Cup selection before Thomas Tuchel names his 26-man squad on Friday. Luke Shaw, Morgan Gibbs-White, Adam Wharton, Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Ollie Watkins all strengthened their cases.
Shaw scored for Manchester United, Gibbs-White continued his strong scoring run, Wharton netted for Crystal Palace, Calvert-Lewin hit a late Leeds winner, and Watkins improved his form after previously being left out of Tuchel’s squad.
