England manager Thomas Tuchel explained that Chelsea forward Cole Palmer 'misses too many chances to impress' after being omitted from the squad for November's Nations League fixtures. The 24-year-old was not selected for matches against Croatia at Wembley on Thursday, 12 November, and Spain in Madrid on Sunday, 15 November. Tuchel has instead handed first call-ups to Fulham's Josh King and Borussia Dortmund's Jobe Bellingham, both attacking midfielders. 'We have enough number 10s and we stick to the guys who were in the previous camp,' Tuchel said.
Jobe Bellingham, 21, joins his brother Jude in the squad, potentially becoming the first siblings to feature in an England line-up since Gary and Phil Neville. England sit second behind Spain in Group A3 with three wins and a loss. One more point from their remaining two matches will secure a place in the two-legged quarter-finals in March, with the winners advancing to the Nations League Finals in June.
The full squad includes goalkeepers Jordan Pickford, Jason Steele, and James Trafford; defenders Trent Alexander-Arnold, Jarrad Branthwaite, Marc Guehi, Lewis Hall, Ezri Konsa, Jarell Quansah, Djed Spence, and Ben White; midfielders Elliot Anderson, Jobe Bellingham, Jude Bellingham, James Garner, Josh King, Myles Lewis-Skelly, and Declan Rice; and forwards Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Eberechi Eze, Morgan Gibbs-White, Anthony Gordon, Harry Kane, Rio Ngumoha, and Morgan Rogers.
