  • Ivan Toney has been recalled to the England squad for matches against Andorra and Senegal in June.
  • Toney has scored 29 goals in 43 appearances for Al-Ahli this season.
  • The England squad includes notable players like Jude Bellingham and Harry Kane.
  • England leads Group K in World Cup qualifiers with six points from two matches.
  • New call-up Trevoh Chalobah joins the squad for the first time.

England's head coach, Thomas Tuchel, has announced the recall of forward Ivan Toney to the national squad for the upcoming matches against Andorra and Senegal. This marks Toney's first appearance in the squad since the Euro 2024 final last summer, where he made his last of six appearances. With an impressive tally of 29 goals in 43 appearances for Saudi Arabian club Al-Ahli this season, Toney has earned this opportunity to represent England again, according to BBC, Reuters, and Channel News Asia.

England currently leads Group K in the World Cup qualifiers, having secured six points through home victories over Albania and Latvia in March. They will travel to Spain for the World Cup qualifying match against Andorra on June 7, followed by a friendly match against Senegal at Nottingham Forest's City Ground on June 10. The squad features key players including Jude Bellingham and striker Harry Kane, as reported by BBC and Reuters.

In addition to Toney, Chelsea's Trevoh Chalobah has received his first call-up to the England squad. The selection process is also notable for the absence of several key players, including Manchester City midfielder Phil Foden and Tottenham striker Dominic Solanke, indicating a significant reshuffle ahead of the matches. Most notably, Toney's return is seen as a response to his remarkable scoring form in the Saudi Pro League, according to Reuters and Channel News Asia.
