The World Cup is only a few months away now, and ahead of this summer\u2019s tournament England\u2019s squad has been predicted with some interesting Newcastle United inclusions.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Newcastle United<\/a> may be having an inconsistent season, but it is still expected we will see some of the Magpies\u2019 top players on the plane to the USA with the England squad.<\/p>\n

Reminder: Paul Mitchell once thought that Newcastle United overspent on Tino Livramento and Lewis Hall. <\/p>\n

In May 2025, The Daily Mail claimed that Paul Mitchell \u201cmade no secret of his belief the club overpaid for Lewis Hall and Tino Livramento.\u201d \ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n

Over the last 12 months, Thomas Tuchel has utilised a number of Newcastle stars in his England squads as the Three Lions navigated their World Cup qualifying campaign in spectacular, unbeaten fashion.<\/p>\n

We know Tuchel is set to talk to Newcastle players<\/a> and others on the fringes of his squad in the coming weeks and months about what they need to do to get to the World Cup.<\/p>\n

Now, a prediction has been made as to who will be on the plane, and it\u2019s good news for four Newcastle stars, but disappointment for another.<\/p>\n

In a prediction piece from the Metro<\/a>, a version of Tuchel\u2019s potential squad for the upcoming tournament was named and we see Nick Pope<\/a>, Dan Burn, Tino Livramento<\/a>, and Anthony Gordon included.<\/p>\n

On Pope, reporter Phil Haigh said: \u201cNick Pope [is] in with a good chance of taking that third [goalkeeper] spot as he is still playing regularly for Newcastle.\u201d<\/p>\n

Haigh suggested Reece James is the number one choice at right-back, but added, \u201cthe versatile Tino Livramento could be the next in line.\u201d<\/p>\n

We previously said Dan Burn should be in the England squad<\/a> come the summer, and Haigh clearly agrees, adding: \u201c[He] may well be on the plane as cover at centre-back and left-back, which is handy.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, there is absolutely no mention of Lewis Hall here, which is a massive shock given his current form. Hall was one of the most improved Newcastle players in 2025<\/a> and is surely knocking on the door for a place in the England team.<\/p>\n

Haigh believes the spot belongs to either Nico O\u2019Reilly of Man City or Arsenal\u2019s Myles Lewis-Skelly. Surely, though, if Hall keeps playing the way he is, he will be the starting left-back for England.<\/p>\n

How much would Lewis Hall be worth in the transfer market? \ud83d\udc40 <\/p>\n

What a performance!<\/p>\n

Anthony Gordon\u2019s spot must be at risk<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Haigh commented on Gordon\u2019s chances of being involved in the summer, writing: \u201cMarcus Rashford and Anthony Gordon will be Tuchel\u2019s choices on the left, although the Newcastle man might need to pick up his form to be certain of that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gordon has been in terrible form<\/a> for a while now, and the fact he hasn\u2019t scored an open play goal in the Premier League since last January has to be recognised.<\/p>\n

If Tuchel is genuinely picking his squad on form, there\u2019s not a chance Gordon gets in right now. Let\u2019s just hope he shows a marked improvement over the next few months, for his sake, and for the sanity of Newcastle fans everywhere.<\/p>\n
