Thomas Tuchel names new England squad

Thomas Tuchel has released his squad for the upcoming international friendly games with Wales and the World Cup qualifier in Latvia, today.

The German tactician, however, left out notable names again, but fit-again Bukayo Saka and John Stones are included, while Phil Foden, Jack Grealish are still out despite impressive form, with just three changes from September.

Real Madrid superstar Jude Bellingham and Crystal Palace star Adam Wharton miss out on the selection for England’s October internationals to face Wales in a friendly at Wembley on Thursday, October 9, and then travel to Latvia in World Cup qualifying on Tuesday, October 14.

Meanwhile, injured Arsenal winger Noni Madueke and Tino Livramento are unavailable for the Three Lions’ upcoming fixture this month.

John Stones, who was initially called up last time but pulled out with an injury, is back playing for Manchester City and included in the new squad again.

AC Milan’s Ruben Loftus-Cheek has been called up once more, stepping in as a late replacement for Palace midfielder Wharton in September after the latter withdrew due to injury.

Chelsea forward Cole Palmer and Real Madrid right back Trent Alexander-Arnold are also out injured. Bayern Leverkusen right-back Jarell Quansah, who came in as another late call-up last month, retains his spot.
