England manager Thomas Tuchel has announced a 27‑man squad for the UEFA Nations League, bringing back Trent Alexander‑Arnold and Cole Palmer to the lineup.

The squad will be used for England’s upcoming Nations League fixtures, as the team prepares to compete against other European national sides in the tournament’s group stage.

The Nations League is a competition organised by UEFA that pits national teams from across Europe against each other in a league‑style format, with promotion and relegation between divisions.

Alexander‑Arnold, a right‑back for Liverpool, and Palmer, a midfielder for Aston Villa, had not featured in recent internationals but were recalled by Tuchel ahead of the league matches.

Tuchel’s selection reflects the manager’s intent to blend experience and fresh talent as England seeks to secure a top spot in their group and advance in the competition.
