    "editor1": "Saudi Pro League: Head coach Thomas Tuchel fully backed the return of Ivan Toney after the 29-year-old was called up to the England squad for the first time since joining Saudi Pro League side Al-Ahli.<p>Toney was a part of the England squad which lost in the 2024 European Championship finals, in which he appeared as a substitute, but was left out of Tuchel\u2019s squad in March. However, 28 goals in 42 appearances for Al-Ahli this season saw him earn his place back.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\"He deserves to be with us, and I am convinced because he scored over 20 goals for his team this season. He won a major title in the Asian Champions League, and he made a big contribution with goals and assists.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\"It is a good occasion now to also test new players, see new players in the environment. We decided to nominate three strikers in the squad. I had a call with Dom Solanke who deserved to be with us and won a big trophy this season but he was in camp already and I have a clear picture of what he can bring and now is the moment to see new players and get a feel for them in the group,\u201d said Tuchel in a press conference.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The German coach also explained that Crystal Palace captain Marc Guehi\u2019s injury resulted in a first senior call-up to Chelsea\u2019s Trevor Chalobah, with the defender having previously represented England from U16s through to U21s level.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\"Marc was normally meant to be with us, of course. He is the captain of Crystal Palace, and they had a huge win in the FA Cup. He is a big part of the success story. He got injured in the final, and it is a facial injury, and the specialist told us not to take the risk.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The German coach also explained that Crystal Palace captain Marc Guehi\u2019s injury resulted in a first senior call-up to Chelsea\u2019s Trevor Chalobah, with the defender having previously represented England from U16s through to U21s level.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><b>Also Read: <\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/live-cricket-score\">LIVE Cricket Score<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Article Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/ians.in\/english-wire\/sports\/1\" rel=\"nofollow\">IANS<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n",
