  "account": "Manchester, England (AP) — Cole Palmer has been added to the England roster following his exclusion from the World Cup. Real Madrid's Trent Alexander-Arnold has also been recalled, having been overlooked in the summer. This follows the omission of several other prominent players from Thomas Tuchel's squad, including Phil Foden, Harry Maguire, and Luke Shaw. Foden, Maguire, and Shaw will not be participating in the upcoming Nations League matches. Youngster Rio Ngumoha, along with Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott, have been selected as well. England secured the third position in the World Cup, their best result since the 1966 triumph. However, Tuchel faced criticism for his performance during the 2-1 loss to Argentina in the semifinal. The England team will face world champions Spain, Croatia, and two matches against the Czech Republic in the first international window of the season. Goalkeepers include Jordan Pickford, Jason Steele, and James Trafford. Defenders feature Trent Alexander-Arnold, Jarrad Branthwaite, Trevoh Chalobah, Marc Guehi, Lewis Hall, Ezri Konsa, Tino Livramento, and Nico O'Reilly. Midfielders are Elliot Anderson, Jude Bellingham, Myles Lewis-Skelly, Kobbie Mainoo, Cole Palmer, and Declan Rice. Forwards comprise Harry Kane, Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Eberechi Eze, Anthony Gordon, Rio Ngumoha, Marcus Rashford, Morgan Rogers, and Bukayo Saka.",
