Phil Foden and Jude Bellingham have been recalled by Thomas Tuchel for the November internationals, so where does it leave the latest betting on the England World Cup squad.

England sealed their passage to the 2026 World Cup in October after thumping Latvia 5-0, as Tuchel continued his 100% start in qualifying to rubberstamp the Three Lions' place in December's draw, using a very consistent squad to the one from September's camp.

Foden and Bellingham missed out on the October camp alongside Jack Grealish, overlooked again in November despite strong performances for Everton. The in-form Marcus Rashford is still in, as is Nico O'Reilly, who earned a surprise call up las time but didn't make it off the bench in either game.

Let's take a look at the current odds for selection.

England's World Cup Chances

It's not been confirmed yet whether teams will have 23 or 26 man squads, while form and Tuchel's preference will also heavily shape selection, so these odds could greatly change in the coming months.

With many players firmly odds on for selection, let's focus on those closer to the evens mark who might be sweating on their place when Tuchel finalises his squad.

The biggest beneficiaries of Tuchel's latest squad are Foden, Bellingham, Reece James and Jordan Henderson - in from 6/4 to 4/7. Moving the other way are Arsenal's out of favour Myles Lewis-Skelly (4/7 from 1/2) and Aston Villa's goal-shy Ollie Watkins, now out to 4/5.

England's 2026 World Cup squad picks?

The odds reflect who is already guaranteed a place on the plane across the Atlantic barring injury, with captain Harry Kane, Declan Rice, Bukayo Saka  and  Jordan Pickford all first-choice picks.

From here, things get a bit more interesting with Tuchel having so many options in almost every position. For example, the likes of Djed Spence (13/8) and Jarrod Bowen (7/5) - picked again - had minutes in both October matches but are still rated less than 50% likely for selection with the bookies.

As for Tuchel's former Chelsea favourite Mason Mount (8/1) and his Manchester United teammates Kobbie Mainoo (8/1) and Harry Maguire (5/1), they all face a big fight to get back into national team plans ahead of next summer. 

Tuchel's England World Cup XI

Tuchel has tried out plenty of players and systems in his short and mostly unimpressive start with England, but it feels likely he will play a 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3 formation next summer to get the best out of his best players. This is how we think the Three Lions might line up come June 2026. 

England's 2026 World Cup squad

(4-3-3): Pickford (GK) - James, Stones, Guehi, Spence - Rice, Anderson - Saka, Bellingham, Gordon - Kane
