England, Thomas Tuchel, Cole Palmer, Jobe Bellingham and Josh King
6 November 2026
England manager Thomas Tuchel has omitted Chelsea forward Cole Palmer from his November Nations League squad while handing first senior call-ups to Borussia Dortmund’s Jobe Bellingham and Fulham’s Josh King.
Tuchel cited Palmer’s repeated absences from international camps and his preference for players already involved with the squad. The Bellingham brothers could become England’s first siblings to play together since Gary and Phil Neville. Ben White and Djed Spence return, while injured players Bukayo Saka, Marcus Rashford and Alex Scott miss out. England face Croatia and Spain in their final group fixtures.
Why It Matters
Tuchel's selections reshape England's attacking options ahead of a decisive Nations League meeting with Spain.
