Trent Alexander-Arnold is back in the England fold as one of 10 players included who missed out on the World Cup in Thomas Tuchel's latest squad ahead of their four Nations League matches.
Uncapped Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott is included, as are Brighton's Jason Steele, Everton's Jarrad Branthwaite, Newcastle's Lewis Hall, Arsenal's Myles Lewis-Skelly, Chelsea's Cole Palmer, Leeds' Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Liverpool's Rio Ngumoha.
Tino Livramento was named in Tuchel's original World Cup squad but was injured before the tournament. He was replaced by Trevoh Chalobah -- both are named in Tuchel's latest 27-player squad.
Reece James, Ivan Toney, John Stones, Jordan Henderson, Ollie Watkins, Dean Henderson, Dan Burn, Noni Madueke and Djed Spence miss out having made the World Cup squad. Stones, Dean Henderson, Jordan Henderson, Burn and Spence are yet to play this season through injury.
James sat out Chelsea training on Thursday and misses out through injury, while Watkins, Madueke and Toney's omissions are all selection calls from Tuchel.
This is Tuchel's first England squad since the World Cup where they finished third. The most eye-catching name among Tuchel's first squad of the 2026-27 season is Real Madrid's Alexander-Arnold who was one of the surprise omissions in the summer.
He returns to the fold ahead of their matches against Spain at Wembley, Czechia in Prague, Croatia in Rijeka, and then Czechia back at Wembley.
Scott has made a superb start to the season at Bournemouth and among the other new faces, Branthwaite earns his first call up under Tuchel. Hall, Lewis-Skelly, Palmer, Ngumoha and Calvert-Lewin are all included after impressing early on this season. Ngumoha was one of three players Tuchel added to the pre-World Cup camp and impressed on his debut against New Zealand.
But there is no place in the squad for Phil Foden, Morgan Gibbs-White or Harry Maguire. Tuchel would have called up Ben White, but he misses out through injury, while Josh King was also close to a call-up.
