Betting Odds Released on Who Makes Tuchel’s Team
With the countdown to the 2026 World Cup firmly underway, bookmakers have opened their markets on who will make Thomas Tuchel’s England squad next summer.
The market is already full of short-priced favourites, with several stars near-guaranteed to be on the plane, while some familiar names face an uphill battle to be included.
It's unconfirmed if the squad size will remain at 26, as it was for the Qatar World Cup, or go back down to the classic 23 man squad.
