Tino Livramento, Kobbie Mainoo, Cole Palmer, Marcus Rashford and Declan Rice have all been ruled out due to injury concerns. Palmer, who has played every game for Chelsea this season, is expected to need to demonstrate strong performances to earn his place in the team. The other withdrawals were made by Mainoo and Rashford, who both featured in Manchester United's 1-1 draw with Fulham earlier in the week. England will face Spain, Czechia and Croatia in their upcoming fixtures in September and October.",
