Diary

Friday, 18 September 2026 - Thomas Tuchel has named his England squad for the first games of the 2026-27 season, as they begin a new UEFA Nations League campaign. The head coach has selected a 27-man squad for the four-game window, which takes place between 21 September and 6 October 2026. There’s a return to the squad for a number of players following the start of the new campaign with their clubs, with the likes of Cole Palmer, Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Lewis Hall, Rio Ngumoha, Jarrad Branthwaite, Myles Lewis-Skelly and Alex Scott all selected. And there’s a place in the squad for Trent Alexander-Arnold, alongside his Real Madrid teammate Jude Bellingham. Goalkeeper Jason Steele, who remained with the World Cup squad in a coaching capacity, returns in the place of the injured Dean Henderson. Of those players who travelled to North America, Dan Burn, Jordan Henderson, Reece James Noni Madueke, Djed Spence, John Stones and Ollie Watkins, all miss out, whereas Phil Foden, Morgan Gibbs-White and Harry Maguire continue to be omitted.

Monday, 21 September 2026 - Tino Livramento, Kobbie Mainoo, Cole Palmer, Marcus Rashford and Declan Rice have all pulled out of the squad for forthcoming Nations League matches. Nottingham Forest midfielder Morgan Gibbs-White and Everton's James Garner have been called into the squad and will join the squad tomorrow. Tuchel had said that 26-year-old Gibbs-White was close to being included in the initial squad. Palmer, 24, had been recalled by Tuchel after being controversially left out of England's World Cup squad but has withdrawn with a minor injury. Manchester United duo Rashford and Mainoo have also pulled out. They were assessed by their club after being taken off in the closing stages of yesterdays 1-1 draw at Fulham. Rice, who played the full game for Arsenal in their 3-0 defeat by Brighton, will also be unavailable, along with Livramento, who has been limited to three substitute appearances for Newcastle United this season. The 24-year-old's withdrawal comes after he played the full game for Chelsea in their 3-0 defeat at Brentford on Friday.
