Reputation counts for nothing with Thomas Tuchel! Winners and losers as England boss leaves game-changers Cole Palmer and Phil Foden out of World Cup squad while Ivan Toney receives shock call-up

A slew of leaks about overlooked players in the 24 hours leading up to the official squad announcement on Friday morning left many people wondering who had actually made it onto the plane, but by deduction it eventually became clear who the German tactician had included in his travelling party.

"What we're trying to achieve as a team and we try to nominate a balanced squad," Tuchel said in a press conference as he defended his big calls. "If everyone is selected, it was a given that from these 55 players, we have to leave some extraordinary talents, some extraordinary personalities at home. Either way, if we picked all those names, some other big five names would have been out and we would be talking about these names. It comes with the job."
