Each country must provide Fifa with a final squad of between 23 and 26 players (at least three of whom must be goalkeepers) by the June 2 deadline, and an injured player can then be replaced by one from the pre-selected 55-man squad, up to 24 hours before the team’s first World Cup match.
Squads will be named throughout May, with Thomas Tuchel expected to name his 26-man England squad on Friday 22 May, while Bosnia and Herzegovina become the first country to confirm their squad on 11 May.
