England\u2019s 35-man squad for their upcoming set of international fixtures has been announced \u2013 and some of the Three Lions\u2019 biggest names have been omitted from the squad list.<\/strong><\/p>\n With players from clubs such as Everton, Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur missing out, we put together a list of the most notable snubs. <\/p>\n We\u2019re just a few months away from the World Cup \u2013 who missed out on Thomas Tuchel\u2019s latest England squad this time?<\/p>\n Were it not for the major hamstring injury that Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall suffered a few months ago, the 27-year-old would likely have a much better chance of being on the plane.<\/p>\n Even still, the former Leicester City and Chelsea man consider himself unlucky to have been left out \u2013 he has been an excellent creative influence for the Toffees this season.<\/p>\n An indomitable runner with excellent technical ability and an eye for goal, Dewsbury-Hall is a complete attacking midfielder. This season, he has scored six Premier League goals, alongside a trio of assists.<\/p>\n It\u2019s true \u2013 Nick Pope\u2019s form has been on the decline in 2025\/26. Even still, it\u2019s surprising to see him not even make the provisional squad \u2013 is he now England\u2019s 6th choice goalkeeper?<\/p>\n For years, Pope was widely recognised as England\u2019s second-best goalkeeper behind Jordan Pickford. Nowadays, however, Tuchel appears to disagree. <\/p>\n Pope has played in 22 Premier League games this season, but has only managed to keep a total of seven clean sheets. Still, one might argue that he has outperformed Aaron Ramsdale over the course of the campaign. <\/p>\n Ollie Watkins has certainly been disappointing in the current season for Aston Villa, but does it mean he should be left out of the England squad entirely?<\/p>\n Watkins has still scored eight Premier League goals this season, alongside a solitary assist. He has scored more goals than Mohamed Salah, Nick Woltemade and Anthony Gordon this season, but has been left out regardless.<\/p>\n Perhaps this is Tuchel\u2019s way of sending a message to Watkins? We know that he is capable of better \u2013 Tuchel may be telling him that he will not be a part of his plans if he isn\u2019t realising his true potential on the pitch.<\/p>\n \n <\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" England\u2019s 35-man squad for their upcoming set of international fixtures has been announced \u2013 and<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1275,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pagelayer_contact_templates":[],"_pagelayer_content":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1274","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-arsenal"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/osport.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1274","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/osport.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/osport.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/osport.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/osport.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1274"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/osport.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1274\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/osport.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/1275"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/osport.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1274"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/osport.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1274"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/osport.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1274"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall<\/h2>\n
