Ivan Toney has been recalled to the England national team for their upcoming international friendlies against Andorra and Senegal. This marks the striker’s first call-up since featuring in the Euro 2024 final, where England suffered a narrow defeat to Spain.

Now 29, Toney, who plays for Al Ahli, has impressed with 28 goals in 42 appearances this season, earning praise from national team coach Thomas Tuchel. His form has secured him a place in the 26-man squad, as England prepares for the international window.

Foden Withdraws, Bellingham Stays Despite Injury Concerns

Manchester City midfielder Phil Foden has opted to withdraw from the squad, citing personal issues that impacted his recent performances.

In contrast, Jude Bellingham remains in the squad despite needing shoulder surgery after the upcoming Club World Cup with Real Madrid. The medical team is expected to manage his minutes carefully during this period.

New Faces and Notable Omissions in Tuchel’s Selection

Trevoh Chalobah of Chelsea has earned his first senior call-up, while Conor Gallagher makes a return following standout performances on loan at Atlético Madrid.

Notable absentees include Dominic Solanke and Jarrod Bowen, who failed to make the final list. Marcus Rashford is also ruled out due to injury.

The matches against Andorra and Senegal serve as key tests ahead of the next UEFA Nations League cycle, and Toney’s return will be closely watched by fans and pundits alike.
