England squad announcement reaction as Tuchel recalls Toney

Football Daily

Chief football correspondent John Murray is joined by The Sunday Times’ Jonathan Northcroft and BBC Sport’s Alex Howell to reflect on Thomas Tuchel’s second England squad in charge. Hear from the England manager himself as he explains the call-up for Saudi-based Ivan Toney as well as the omissions of Phil Foden, Jarrod Bowen and Marcus Rashford. Could some time-off be exactly what Phil Foden needs? Tuchel also discusses the rollercoaster season that has earned Trevoh Chalobah his first senior call-up. Plus, are we seeing a changing of the guard in the England back-line, as no Manchester United or Manchester City players feature in the squad?
