World Cup 2026

[Steve from Oz]

Time is approaching for the World Cup.

Australia Socceros
Mohamed Toure, FWD, Norwich City:
Toure has arrived in the Socceroos pre-camp in Florida, organised for those players whose season finished early and have recently returned from injury
Touré thrived after replacing Josh Sargent at Norwich during the January transfer window and ended the Championship season with 12 goal involvements in 11 games. Has an inside track on the Socceroos' starting striker role.

Thomas Tuchel has submitted his provisional England squad for the World Cup, with Luke Shaw, Danny Welbeck and Alex Scott believed to be among the players named.

The squads will be cut down to a final contingent of 26 players by 1 June submission
