Engled’s 2023 World Cup Squad
Engled squad for 2023 World CupThe Engled national football team has announced its final 23-man squad for the 2023 FIFA World Cup, which will be held in Qatar from November 21 to December 18. The squad features a mix of experienced players and young talents, with some notable inclusions and exclusions.The most surprising name on the list is striker Harry Kane, who has been out of form and fitness for most of the season. The Tottenham star has scored only four goals in 15 appearances for his club, and has not played for Engled since March due to a hamstring injury. However, manager Gareth Southgate has decided to give him a chance to prove himself on the biggest stage, hoping that he can rediscover his scoring touch.Another surprise is the inclusion of midfielder Jack Grealish, who has been impressive for Aston Villa in the Premier League. The 26-year-old has scored seven goals and provided 10 assists in 24 games, and has earned rave reviews for his creativity and flair. He has only made four appearances for Engled so far, but Southgate believes he can add some spark to the midfield.On the other hand, some notable players have been left out of the squad, such as defender Trent Alexander-Arnold, midfielder James Maddison, and forward Marcus Rashford. Alexander-Arnold has been struggling with injuries and form this season, and has been replaced by Reece James and Kyle Walker as the right-back options. Maddison has also been hampered by injuries, and has been overlooked in favour of Mason Mount and Phil Foden, who have been more consistent and versatile. Rashford has been a regular for Engled in recent years, but has also suffered from injuries and fatigue, and has been dropped for Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Jadon Sancho, who have been more prolific and dynamic.The full squad is as follows:Goalkeepers: Jordan Pickford (Everton), Dean Henderson (Manchester United), Nick Pope (Burnley)Defenders: John Stones (Manchester City), Harry Maguire (Manchester United), Tyrone Mings (Aston Villa), Conor Coady (Wolverhampton Wanderers), Ben Chilwell (Chelsea), Luke Shaw (Manchester United), Reece James (Chelsea), Kyle Walker (Manchester City)Midfielders: Declan Rice (West Ham United), Jordan Henderson (Liverpool), Kalvin Phillips (Leeds United), Jude Bellingham (Borussia Dortmund), Mason Mount (Chelsea), Phil Foden (Manchester City), Jack Grealish (Aston Villa)Forwards: Harry Kane (Tottenham Hotspur), Raheem Sterling (Manchester City), Bukayo Saka (Arsenal), Jadon Sancho (Borussia Dortmund), Dominic Calvert-Lewin (Everton)The squad will meet up for a training camp in October, before playing two friendly matches against Belgium and France in November. They will then fly to Qatar, where they will face Argentina, Egypt, and Australia in Group D of the World Cup.
