Tuchel recalls Alexander-Arnold in 10-man shake-up
Real Madrid’s Trent Alexander-Arnold returns to the England squad for the first time since June 2025, having been overlooked by Thomas Tuchel in favour of other right-backs.
Thomas Tuchel has made a significant 10-man selection change to the England squad, recalling Trent Alexander-Arnold for their upcoming Nations League campaign against Spain. The Chelsea goalkeeper Jason Steele and Brighton midfielder Alex Scott are also set to make their England debuts, debuting in the international arena after over a year's absence.
The changes were a stark contrast to the squad that Tuchel led to the World Cup, as Cole Palmer and Lewis Hall return, while experienced players Jordan Henderson and John Stones are noticeably missing. In the absence of the experienced pair, Rio Ngumoha, the 18-year-old Arsenal winger, is expected to make his second cap. England will kick off their Nations League campaign against world champions Spain at Wembley on September 26, followed by matches against the Czech Republic and Croatia, with two more encounters in November.
