England's newly appointed manager, Thomas Tuchel, has made significant changes to the national squad, recalling Aston Villa's Marcus Rashford and Ajax's Jordan Henderson for upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Albania and Latvia.

The squad selection marks a potential redemption for Rashford, whose international appearances dwindled under former manager Gareth Southgate due to a dip in form. Rashford, now on loan from Manchester United to Aston Villa, has been in impressive form recently, amassing four assists in nine games for his club.

In an exciting twist, Newcastle's Dan Burn and Arsenal's rising star Myles Lewis-Skelly are in line for their first caps. Newcastle coach Eddie Howe praised Burn's journey through the football ranks as one of the 'great football stories.' England kicks off the campaign at Wembley against Albania on Friday.
