How the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup could affect Thomas Tuchel's latest England squad

England boss Thomas Tuchel has named his squad for the Three Lions' two games in June, but it's a squad that could be impacted by the upcoming FIFA Club World Cup. 

Tuchel's men play Andorra in a World Cup qualifier on June 1, before a friendly against Senegal at The City Ground four days later, less than a week before the Club World Cup kicks off in America. 

With Premier League clubs Manchester City and Chelsea involved in the tournament, along with Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Atletico Madrid among the 32 sides taking part in proceedings, it's unclear how many players will be unavailable for selection for England's second game next month. 

Of the 26 names included in Tuchel's squad - which also includes a surprise recall for Ivan Toney, now playing in Saudi Arabia - nine of those players are likely to be headed off to play in FIFA's newly revamped summer competition. 

• Trevor Chalobah (Chelsea)
• Reece James (Chelsea)
• Kyle Walker (Manchester City)
• Jude Bellingham (Real Madrid)
• Conor Gallagher (Atletico Madrid)
• Cole Palmer (Chelsea)
• Harry Kane (Bayern Munich)
• Noni Madueke (Chelsea) 

Additionally, Trent Alexander-Arnold could sign for Real Madrid in the weeks before the tournament begins, with the Liverpool star widely expected to join Los Blancos.

It is yet to be confirmed when teams will require players to return to the clubs ahead of preparations for the Club World Cup, but it would appear unlikely that many would be involved for the Senegal game. 

Atletico Madrid’s game with PSG on Sunday 15 June, is the first game that would affect involvement, which comes five days after the friendly in Nottingham.
