England World Cup Squad: Mainoo and Hall Return, Alexander-Arnold Omitted

The upcoming friendlies against Uruguay and Japan are critical for players to demonstrate their capabilities and secure a spot in the final World Cup squad. The matches will provide insights into Tuchel's preferred options, particularly in midfield and as backup to Harry Kane. With the World Cup fast approaching, every game counts as players vie for a place in the squad.
