Newcastle legend Alan Shearer names Arsenal star Myles Lewis-Skelly and Manchester United defender Harry Maguire as likely exclusions from Thomas Tuchel's England World Cup squad. The squad announcement is expected this Friday.

According to Shearer, Lewis-Skelly hasn't played enough football this season despite his revival under Mikel Arteta, making it doubtful he'll secure a spot in Tuchel's squad. Regarding Maguire, Shearer suggests Dan Burn might be chosen instead due to his additional time spent with Tuchel during England camps.

Shearer also predicts that high-profile names like Phil Foden, Cole Palmer, and Morgan Gibbs-White will miss out. He believes Konsa and Guehi are assured selections, with John Stones likely included for his experience.

With the World Cup approaching, how will Tuchel's squad selection impact England's chances in the tournament compared to previous years?
