Ngumoha not in England squad to face Spain
Liverpool teenager Rio Ngumoha is not named in England's matchday squad for Saturday's Nations League opener against Spain.
Liverpool's teenage forward Rio Ngumoha will not feature in England's matchday squad for their Nations League opener against Spain this Saturday at Wembley. Despite being named in a full squad earlier, Ngumoha is set to miss the match, which kicks off at 19:45 BST. The 18-year-old was part of the supplementary players who traveled with the England senior team to Florida for pre-World Cup training last summer.
Ngumoha made his debut for England in a friendly against New Zealand, impressing in a second-half appearance and becoming the youngest player to represent the Three Lions. The forward has seen a rapid rise since becoming Liverpool's youngest ever starter in the FA Cup. He has made three Premier League appearances for Liverpool this season, including a late winner in their 3-2 win against Newcastle.
