Alexander-Arnold and Palmer return to England squad for Nations League
LONDON: Trent Alexander-Arnold and Cole Palmer were recalled by England on Friday as Thomas Tuchel named his first squad since leaving the pair out of the World Cup.
Trent Alexander-Arnold and Cole Palmer have been recalled to the England national team for their upcoming Nations League matches, according to a report from London on Friday. The recall comes after Thomas Tuchel left both players out of the World Cup squad. Alexander-Arnold, a Real Madrid right-back, made his first appearance for England since June 2025.
Palmer, a Chelsea forward, returned to the squad after missing out on a place in the team that reached the World Cup semi-finals, losing to Argentina. Additionally, Rio Ngumoha, Alex Scott, and Jarrad Branthwaite were included in the 27-man group for the three-week, four-game Nations League camp. The camp follows England's return from the United States, just nine weeks after their World Cup campaign.
Tuchel named the squad, which includes Lewis Hall, Myles Lewis-Skelly, and Dominic Calvert-Lewin, back into action, despite dropping World Cup players Ollie Watkins, Ivan Toney, and Noni Madueke. England will face world champions Spain in their Nations League opener on September 26 at Wembley, followed by games against the Czech Republic and Croatia.
