England football team has released their squad for the upcoming international games. The football leagues will be paused again as international break is coming and this time with more intense games. England have added some star players but also leave some great ballers out for these international games. Phil Foden, Jude Bellingham, Jack Grealish, and Adam Wharton are out of the squad. Meanwhile, in-form Barca’s winger Marcus Rashford and Arsenal’s winger Bukayo Saka has booked their places in the England squad.

Foden and Bellingham, both considered among the finest young talents in world football, are unexpected omissions, while Grealish’s exclusion further adds to the shock factor. Wharton, who has impressed with his composure and work rate at club level, also misses out on this occasion.

On the flip side, the squad sees the return of some star names who are currently in strong form. Barcelona’s Marcus Rashford, enjoying a resurgence in Spain, has been rewarded with a spot in the team. Arsenal winger Bukayo Saka, who has been instrumental for the Gunners in their Premier League campaign, also secures his place. Both players are expected to play crucial roles in England’s attack as they face challenging fixtures.

The announcement highlights Southgate’s willingness to rotate and test different combinations ahead of the summer tournaments. With England eyeing silverware after near misses in recent years, the selection reflects both tactical adjustments and consideration for player fitness.
