Welbeck Downplays World Cup Talk After Tuchel Snub

1 / 5

Brighton striker Danny Welbeck shrugged off speculation linking him to England’s 2026 World Cup squad after being overlooked by coach Thomas Tuchel. Fresh from a two-goal display in Brighton’s 2-1 Premier League win over Liverpool, Welbeck said he focuses only on what he can control. He called the mentions “a positive” but refused to expend energy on factors beyond his reach. The veteran forward now leads all English scorers in the Premier League with 12 goals. A summer recall would add to his 42 caps and 16 goals for the Three Lions, despite his last appearance coming in 2018.
