Alexander-Arnold and Palmer return to England squad for Nations League
'It's an opportunity for Trent of course. He had a good start to the season, I would say,' said England head coach Thomas Tuchel.
Trent Alexander-Arnold and Cole Palmer have been recalled to England's national football team ahead of the Nations League tournament. Alexander-Arnold, a Real Madrid right-back, is making his first appearance since June 2025, while Palmer, a Chelsea forward, returns after missing out on the team that reached the World Cup semi-finals earlier this year.
Additionally, Rio Ngumoha, Alex Scott, and Jarrad Branthwaite have also been included in the 27-man squad. England's new manager Thomas Tuchel named the group nine weeks after the team returned from their World Cup campaign in the United States. The squad will participate in a four-game camp which begins in September. Tuchel praised Alexander-Arnold's recent form, stating that the young player had started some matches for Real Madrid and that it was an opportunity for him to earn a spot on the national team.
England's first game in the Nations League will be against world champions Spain at Wembley on September 26, with further matches against the Czech Republic and Croatia scheduled shortly after.
