Thomas Tuchel said yesterday England can build on the "fantastic spirit" of their World Cup campaign as he targets glory on home soil at Euro 2028.
The England boss was speaking at Wembley after naming a 27-man group for a four-game Nations League camp, starting with a clash against world champions Spain on September 26.
It comes just nine weeks after the end of the World Cup, where England conceded two late goals in a painful semi-final defeat by Lionel Messi's Argentina.
Real Madrid defender Trent Alexander-Arnold and Chelsea forward Cole Palmer were the headline picks after both were controversially overlooked for the World Cup.
Tuchel also included Liverpool's teenager winger Rio Ngumoha, uncapped Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott and Everton defender Jarrad Branthwaite in his first squad since the tournament in North America.
A number of players who were in the World Cup squad, including John Stones, Djed Spence, Dan Burn, Jordan Henderson, Dean Henderson and Reece James, missed out through injury.
