Names like Harry Kane, Jude Bellingham, Marcus Rashford and others have received a call-up. Most of the players in the English squad are from the English Premier League (21).

Are any Liverpool players included in England’s World Cup roster?

For the first time since the 1986 World Cup, there will be no Liverpool player in an England squad for a major tournament. This is quite a setback for one of the biggest clubs in the Premier League.

But Liverpool youngster Rio Ngumoha will join the Blue Tigers’ training camp for the tournament.

As the players from Arsenal are going to join late due to their involvement in the UEFA Champions League final on May 30. The names include Bukayo Saka, Declan Rice, Noni Madueke and Eberechi Eze. Instead, some young Premier League players, Rio Ngumoha (Liverpool), Josh King (Fulham) and Alex Scott (Bournemouth) are going to be included for the preparations.

Thomas Tuchel said, “We will take some young players out who will train with us and keep the squad at the size we need so we have all the possibilities for the two friendly matches to take care about the minutes and load of the players. Alex Scott is confirmed, Rio Ngumoha is confirmed, and Josh King, and there will be one more player which we cannot name because it has not been confirmed yet.”
