Overview
- The 25-year-old was named to England’s 35-player group for friendlies against Uruguay and Japan as he bids to make the World Cup squad, with a possible debut at Wembley on Friday.
- Garner, speaking Tuesday at St George’s Park, said he is with the squad only through the Uruguay game in the rotation that brings new players in for Japan.
- He credited Moyes and a standout Everton season for the call after two serious back injuries and years fighting relegation made it hard to show his level.
- His selection also reflects his flexibility, with regular shifts at right-back this season adding to his case for a midfield or defensive role.
- Tuchel said the camp will put extra work into set pieces, signaling a focus on dead-ball situations that often decide knockout matches.
