England’s head coach Thomas Tuchel has reshuffled the Three Lions’ squad for the upcoming Nations League matches, dropping Cole Palmer, Phil Foden and Kobbie Mainoo and giving first senior call‑ups to Jobe Bellingham and Fulham midfielder Josh King.
In a move that signals a fresh start, Tuchel omitted the three players from the squad that will face Croatia and Spain later this month. The changes come ahead of England’s next fixtures in the Nations League.
Jobe Bellingham, the younger brother of Jude, and Josh King have been added to the squad, marking their first appearances at senior international level.
