England Announces World Cup Squad After much speculation, England has finally announced their squad for the upcoming World Cup in Russia. The team is composed of 23 players, including some surprising choices and some notable omissions. First on the list is the England captain, Harry Kane, who has been in top form for Tottenham Hotspur this season, scoring a whopping 30 goals in the Premier League. Alongside him in attack are the likes of Raheem Sterling, Jamie Vardy, and Marcus Rashford. In midfield, some familiar faces have been included, such as Jordan Henderson, Dele Alli, and Jesse Lingard. However, there are also some newer additions to the squad, including Ruben Loftus-Cheek, who has impressed for Crystal Palace on loan from Chelsea, and Liverpool's Trent Alexander-Arnold. Defensively, England has called upon experienced players such as Gary Cahill and Kyle Walker, as well as young talents like Harry Maguire and Kieran Trippier. However, there is no place for Southampton's Ryan Bertrand, who has been a regular in previous squads. Perhaps the biggest surprise in the squad is the inclusion of Chelsea's uncapped goalkeeper, Nick Pope. While he has only made his Premier League debut this season, his performances for Burnley have been outstanding and he has been rewarded with a call-up to the national team. Unfortunately, there are some notable omissions from the squad, including Arsenal's Jack Wilshere and Manchester United's Chris Smalling. Both players have had solid seasons for their clubs, but were overlooked by manager Gareth Southgate. Overall, the England squad presents a mix of experience and youth, with some exciting new talents joining the established names. Fans will certainly be hoping that this squad can bring some success to a team that has often disappointed in recent tournaments.。
