A number of stars used the penultimate round of fixtures to stake late claims for a seat on the plane to the United States.\n\nLuke Shaw, back to full fitness after an injury-hit 2024-25 campaign, netted his first Premier League goal since January 2023 against Nottingham Forest. The Manchester United left-back had been limited to just seven league appearances last term, but his consistent availability this season, starting every top-flight game, has reignited hope of a recall. United boss Carrick endorsed his call-up, stating he \"certainly\" deserves it and highlighting his experience from two major tournament finals. Yet competition from emerging talents like Lewis Hall and Myles Lewis-Skelly leaves Shaw’s place far from guaranteed.\n\nNottingham Forest captain Morgan Gibbs-White capped a productive individual campaign with a fine first-time finish at Old Trafford, taking his league tally to 14 goals. Despite his side’s struggles, the attacking midfielder has delivered nine goals and two assists since March, proving himself as one of the division’s in-form creators. The former Wolves man, however, has not featured in the last two England squads, and with Jude Bellingham, Morgan Rogers, Phil Foden and Cole Palmer vying for similar roles, breaking into the 26-man group remains a stiff challenge.\n\nCrystal Palace playmaker Adam Wharton marked his return to prominence with a well-struck goal and a backflip celebration against Brentford. The left-footed midfielder’s maiden Palace goal underscored his technical quality, but his international career has stalled at four caps, partly due to injuries. Having been included in the past two squads, Wharton appeared on Tuchel’s radar even before his headline moment, and his composed display may strengthen his case as a deep-lying midfield option.\n\nAt Leeds United, Dominic Calvert-Lewin has rebuilt his reputation after an injury-plagued Everton career ended with a free transfer. His dramatic winner against Brighton was his 14th league goal of the season, and he earned an England recall in March. Former goalkeeper Paul Robinson noted the striker’s resurgence, saying, \"People questioned his signing but that’s 15 goals this season for him and now people are talking about him potentially being involved in England’s World Cup squad.\" Calvert-Lewin, when asked about a call-up, humorously deflected to his busy summer with a toddler.\n\nAston Villa’s Ollie Watkins surged back into contention after being omitted from the last squad. A lean winter spell gave way to a prolific spring: nine goals since the start of April, including a double against Liverpool, have reminded Tuchel of his pedigree. As Harry Kane’s understudy at Euro 2024, Watkins delivered one of the tournament’s iconic moments with a last-gasp semi-final winner. That proven ability to shape a game late on could swing a tight selection battle in his favour.\n\nThe array of options presents Tuchel with the kind of headache every manager wants. The left-back slot, for instance, has evolved in Shaw’s absence, with Hall’s consistency and Lewis-Skelly’s promise challenging the established order. In midfield, the sheer volume of elite attackers means even in-form talents may miss out. Up front, the backup striker role behind Kane pits Watkins’s recent hot streak against Calvert-Lewin’s all-round target-man play.\n\nWith the final squad due on Friday, these late auditions could prove decisive. Tuchel must balance experience, current form, and tactical versatility. The performances of Shaw, Gibbs-White, Wharton, Calvert-Lewin and Watkins have given him plenty to ponder, but difficult omissions are inevitable. For those on the bubble, the wait will be agonising.\n\nBased on reporting from BBC Sport.","news","Luke Shaw, Morgan Gibbs-White, Adam Wharton, Dominic Calvert-Lewin, and Ollie Watkins made late pushes for England's World Cup squad with standout performances.","326257545712766976","Manchester United","331568561317220353","326135625054949376","Premier League","327054566501650432","Manchester United vs Nottingham Forest","2026-05-17T20:42:23Z","england-late-call-ups-5-players-staking-their-claims","BBC Sport","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.bbc.com\u002Fsport\u002Ffootball\u002Farticles\u002Fc0521vn9d79o?at_medium=RSS&at_campaign=rss",[50,45,62,63,64,65,66,67,68,69],"326222711682502656","326255037950988288","326222712496197632","326257546425798656","326257807630274560","326257545918287872","326257546325135360","326257546358689792",[51,46,71,72,73,74,75,76,77,78],"England","Crystal Palace","Netherlands","Aston Villa","Southampton","Liverpool","Brentford","Leeds","England Late Call-Ups: 5 Players Staking Their Claims",[81,108,138,165],{"awayTeamId":-1,"awayTeamName":-1,"body":-1,"category":48,"excerpt":82,"homeTeamId":-1,"homeTeamName":-1,"id":83,"leagueId":53,"leagueName":54,"matchId":84,"matchName":21,"publishedAt":85,"slug":86,"sourceName":87,"sourceURL":88,"teamId":89,"teamName":90,"teamIds":91,"teamNames":99,"title":107},"Pierre Sage is set to join Crystal Palace after leading Lens to Coupe de France glory.
