Tuchel names Bellingham brothers as Palmer absent again
Jobe Bellingham and Josh King have been included in the final England squad of the year, but Thomas Tuchel has overlooked Cole Palmer and Kobbie Mainoo for November's internationals.
The World Cup bronze medallists are all but assured of a place in the Nations League quarter-finals ahead of next Thursday’s home game against Croatia and the trip to Spain three days later.
Borussia Dortmund midfielder Bellingham’s first selection alongside older brother Jude Bellingham will dominate the headlines along with the inclusion of uncapped Fulham teenager Josh King, who caught the eye during June’s World Cup warm-up camp.
Chelsea playmaker Palmer and Manchester United midfielder Mainoo were high-profile omissions, with Djed Spence and Ben White brought into a 25-man squad that defender Nico O’Reilly dropped out of.
Declan Rice returns after injury but Bukayo Saka is absent with a thigh injury and Tuchel decided not to bring in Noni Madueke as his Arsenal team-mate’s replacement.
There was no place for fellow World Cup squad members Dean Henderson, Dan Burn and Jordan Henderson after missing the last camp.
Alex Scott, Marcus Rashford and John Stones are ruled out of this meet up through injury, as are Tino Livramento, Reece James and Trevoh Chalobah.
England squad:
Jordan Pickford, James Trafford, Jason Steele; Ezri Konsa, Marc Guehi, Jarrad Branthwaite, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Lewis Hall, Jarrell Quansah, Djed Spence, Ben White; Jude Bellingham, Jobe Bellingham, Josh King, James Garner, Elliot Anderson, Eberechi Eze, Myles Lewis-Skelly, Declan Rice; Harry Kane, Morgan Gibbs-White, Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Anthony Gordon, Rio Ngumoha, Morgan Rogers.
