Tuchel Drops Big Names as Trent and Palmer Return to England Squad

Thomas Tuchel has named a 27-man England squad for the upcoming Nations League games, making some big changes just nine weeks after the World Cup.

The biggest news is the return of Trent Alexander-Arnold and Cole Palmer, who both missed out on the tournament in North America.

 

Tuchel has also called up exciting young players like teenage winger Rio Ngumoha, Alex Scott, and Jarrad Branthwaite, while bringing back Lewis Hall, Myles Lewis-Skelly, and Dominic Calvert-Lewin.

To make room for these changes, several players were dropped from the World Cup team, including Ollie Watkins, Ivan Toney, and Noni Madueke.

 

Phil Foden, Morgan Gibbs-White, and Adam Wharton also missed out on a spot. England will play four Nations League matches over the next three weeks with this updated group.
