Marcus Rashford and Jordan Henderson have been named in Thomas Tuchel’s maiden England squad on Friday, with Arsenal’s Myles Lewis-Skelly and Newcastle defender Dan Burn receiving their first selections.

Rashford hasn’t represented the Three Lions in a year, but his performance has significantly improved following a loan move to Aston Villa from Manchester United in January.

Henderson, 34, last appeared in an England match in November 2023, having made 81 caps, and subsequent transfers to Saudi Arabia and Ajax led to his drop in rank under Gareth Southgate and Lee Carsley.
