Tuchel releases England squad today, Maguire returns

New England coach Thomas Tuchel is expected to announce his squad for the two friendlies in March at 11:00 (GMT) today, which will provide important clues for World Cup selection.

According to recent reports, defender Harry Maguire is close to returning to the national team for the challenges against Uruguay and Japan.

Young midfielder Kobbie Mainoo is also expected to return to the squad, while James Garner could receive his first call-up to the national team. Alex Scott is expected to be absent.

In the defensive department, Luke Shaw is unlikely to be part of the list, while Lewis Hall is expected to return as an alternative on the left wing.

England will face Uruguay on March 27 and Japan on March 31, while two more friendlies against New Zealand and Costa Rica are scheduled before the start of the World Cup in June.

Tuchel faces several key dilemmas for the formation, including the choice of the player in the number 10 role, the composition of the central defense, the solution on the left wing of the defense, as well as the alternatives in attack to support captain Harry Kane.
