No, don't want him injured.
Plus England should be building a squad for the future.

Totally agree. Just look at the negative opinions about Lewis Dunk being selected for the England squad last year ahead of Jarrad Branthwaite. Even though most people knew that it would be very unlikely that he would play.

No. Tuchel's sole job is to win '26 world cup. Liam Delap should be being put into the squad now as the heir to Kane. A fit Solanke probably would be my current non-Kane choice (really good start at Spurs before injury) and Watkins would be my other one.

Danny Welbeck in a camp would be a huge boost to the young guns. I don't think he'd play much if at all but what a boost he'd be.

Harry Kane and Ollie Watkins are shoe-ins for England, so whether or not Welbeck is in contention depends on whether Tuchel thinks Toney and / or Solanke offer more than Welbeck.
I think it is possible that a German manager might value mental fortitude more highly than an English manager (there is a reason - after all, why the Germans do better than most at penalty shootouts), and Welbeck is stronger than both of those players when it comes to strength of character and leadership.
He also has a great England record, so has proved he can handle the pressure at international level.
A recall is still unlikely, but I think the average England fans would rather see Toney come on as sub, and I think Solanke would shade it for 4th striker spot. We already have the likes of Palmer and Foden too, so unless there are a couple of injuries I can't see it happening.

He would 100% be in the squad if he played for one of the "big" teams like Man Utd or...Spurs...
No, sorry, can't keep a straight face.

You know that feeling when England make it to a tight semi-final, and deep down, you just know we’re going out?
Then, Thomas Tuchel turns to the bench, gives the nod… and Danny Welbeck starts warming up. He looks over, gives a little wink. Called upon in the 82nd minute. At that moment, you just know we’re going through.

Didn’t even realize England were playing.
Hinsh and Webster should be included in the next senior squad.

I think he’s certainly ahead of, say, Callum Wilson, or should be. He’s certainly not the “future” of England, but we are always talking about the future of England. We’ve been doing it my entire lifetime. Sometimes you’ve got to just pick the best, most in-form options and let them play.

Wilson out contention at Newcastle. Toney off to Saudi, Calvert Lewin seems to have nose dived. Not too many other options. Why not?

Disagree, and voted no.Yes.
Anyone saying 'no' either haven't read the question properly or seen Danny Welbeck recently
Just cos he's good enough at this point in time doesn't mean it would be the right decision, injury risk aside. Need to build the squad around euros and world cups, I don't think he has those years left, nor should he be playing extra games

No.
We need him fully fit and firing for us for the rest of the season. So week of rest and not risking getting clogged by Albanian or Latvian huddies is the best thing.
But then, I would say that
We could let England have Milner.

I'm also no.
Think he's good enough on form, but his fitness - extra games + injury risk, it's a no.
He's too important to us (we loaned out Ferguson) + could risk his best ever season which would be heartbreaking to see.
England has other players to call on which are better suited and with an eye to the future. Jack H for example.
