England's Nations League squad announced

National team coach Thomas Tuchel did not invite Chelsea star Cole Palmer to the squad. Fulham midfielder Josh King and Borussia Dortmund player Jobe Bellingham received national team invitations for the first time.

Palmer, who has worn the national jersey only 3 times in the last two years, last played in the friendly match against Japan in March. The 24-year-old football player was not included in Tuchel's 2026 FIFA World Cup squad.

German coach Tuchel said about Palmer not being in the squad in September, "He misses too many opportunities. I don't blame him for that, it's just a fact. He misses a lot of camps due to injury and I just want to trust what I witnessed with my own eyes and what I saw in my team. For that, you have to be in the camp." He used the following expressions.

England will host Croatia at Wembley Stadium on Thursday, November 12, and will host Spain at the Metropolitano Stadium in Madrid on Sunday, November 15.

England's squad includes the following names:

Goalkeepers: Jordan Pickford (Everton), Jason Steele (Brighton), James Trafford (Leeds United)

Defense: Trent Alexander-Arnold (Real Madrid), Jarrad Branthwaite (Everton), Marc Guehi (Manchester City), Lewis Hall (Newcastle United), Ezri Konsa, Ben White (Arsenal), Jarell Quansah (Bayer Leverkusen), Djed Spence (Inter)
