Ex-Brentford striker Toney earns England Recall

0


Former Brentford striker Ivan Toney has been recalled to England's squad for next month's matches against Andorra and Senegal.

It is a first call-up for the 29-year-old since he moved to Saudi Arabian club Al-Ahli from the Bees last summer.

He made the last of his six England appearances in the Euro 2024 final defeat by Spain.

But 28 goals in 42 appearances for Al-Ahli this season has convinced England head coach Thomas Tuchel to have a closer look at the striker, having left him out of his first squad in March.

England face Andorra in a World Cup qualifier on 7 June, before welcoming Senegal to Nottingham Forest's City Ground for a friendly on 10 June.

Real Madrid's Jude Bellingham has also been selected, despite the midfielder's upcoming shoulder surgery.

The 21-year-old is set to have an operation following the Club World Cup - which starts on 15 June and follows England's matches - to resolve a long-term shoulder issue that has troubled him since 2023.

Tuchel has selected a number of players competing in the Club World Cup, including captain and Bayern Munich striker Harry Kane, Chelsea's Cole Palmer and Atletico Madrid's Conor Gallagher.

Manchester City midfielder Phil Foden is a notable absentee, while there are no representatives from Manchester United.

Chelsea defender Trevoh Chalobah has received his first senior call-up.
