Marcus Rashford has been recalled by Thomas Tuchel as he announced his first squad as England head coach for March's World Cup Qualifiers.

England play Albania and Latvia at Wembley in their first World Cup 2026 qualifiers.

Rashford was frozen out by new Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim in December but his form has been impressive since joining Aston Villa on loan in January.

He has been rewarded with a return to the England set-up, having last featured for the Three Lions in March last year as a substitute against Brazil at Wembley.
