Currently, Jordan Pickford is the only nailed-on pick for Thomas Tuchel, and will be between the sticks this summer at the World Cup.
But a number of his teammates are making cases to be considered for selection, with international football returning this month,
And Everton have sought to catch Tuchel’s attention with a message about three of Pickford’s teammates.

They were Jarrad Branthwaite, James Garner and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall.

Everton have a few disappointing results in 2026 so far, but also some very good ones.
But it has to be said, the form of Garner and Dewsbury-Hall after he returned from injury has been excellent.
Moyes said after the win over Newcastle that Dewsbury-Hall had his best outing since returning from injury.

And Garner has turned in such consistent performances, and his maiden England call-up does feel like only a matter of time given how good he’s been for so long.
Moyes has felt Garner has been close to call-up for some time now, and Tuchel was even seen chatting with the midfielder after the win over Manchester United in November.
Tuchel should also be looking to call up Branthwaite for the next squad.
He’s looked a class act since coming back from his injury, and England could benefit immensely from having a left-footed central defender.
