In a significant reshuffle, new England manager Thomas Tuchel has recalled Marcus Rashford and Jordan Henderson to the national team for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Albania and Latvia.

Rashford, currently on loan at Aston Villa, returns after a stint away from the national spotlight, while Henderson makes a comeback after last playing for England in late 2023. The squad also sees fresh faces in Newcastle's Dan Burn and Arsenal's Myles Lewis-Skelly, both set for potential debut caps.

Rashford, who has 60 England caps to his name, seeks to reinstate his presence in the team after waning international prospects under former manager Gareth Southgate. England's path to the 2026 World Cup kicks off at Wembley on Friday.
