Eberechi Eze, Bukayo Saka, Noni Madueke, and Declan Rice have all been selected for England’s 2026 World Cup squad, but Myles Lewis-Skelly has missed out.
England have confirmed their World Cup squad for the 2026 tournament this summer, with Arsenal quartet Eberechi Eze, Bukayo Saka, Noni Madueke, and Declan Rice all making the final cut.
Unfortunately, Myles Lewis-Skelly has missed out, despite his recent return to the team with Arsenal.
The young midfielder/left-back had been warned by Thomas Tuchel over the last break that he wouldn’t be called up if he wasn’t playing, and despite making a few starts over the last month, he clearly wasn’t involved enough for Tuchel’s liking.
Saka and Rice would always have expected to be called up for the squad, considering they’re nailed-on starters when available.
Eze and Madueke might have been less sure of their spots, but the pair have performed well for England in recent breaks.
The four call-ups bring England’s total to 11, with the full list shown below, as well as the countries with Arsenal internationals still yet to confirm their final squads.
