Jornal Do Brasilia - England recall Mainoo, Maguire for pre-World Cup matches

Everton midfielder James Garner and Brighton goalkeeper Jason Steele received their first England call-ups.

AC Milan defender Fikayo Tomori and Tottenham forward Dominic Solanke were also brought in but there was no place for Trent Alexander-Arnold or Luke Shaw.

Real Madrid midfielder Jude Bellingham is included even though he has not played since early February due to a hamstring injury.

Experienced centre-back Maguire, 33, will have the chance to add to his 64 international appearances and Euro 2024 final starter Mainoo, 20, is included.

The pair last played for their country in September 2024 but have been rewarded for United's recent good run of form which has taken them to third in the Premier League.

Shaw, 30, was another United player pushing to be involved but has once again been overlooked, with Tuchel instead calling up Newcastle's Lewis Hall for the first time since he took charge.

Tuchel has selected a larger squad than usual, with players reporting to camp in two stages across the window.

"We decided to divide it into basically two camps almost, so we bring players in that we haven't seen who haven't played so much to open up the picture and the competition for plane tickets to the US," he told the Football Association website.

"Then from Friday and Saturday, a group of players will come into camp -- 10 or 11 players who get a rest before and we will then go with a new group and mix of players into the match against Japan."

England play Uruguay at Wembley on March 27 and host Japan on March 31.

The World Cup, taking place in Canada, Mexico and the United States, starts on June 11, with England among the favourites.
