- Thomas Tuchel has recalled Chelsea star Cole Palmer and Trent Alexander-Arnold to the England squad for the upcoming Nations League fixtures, after both missed out on selection for the summer World Cup in the United States.
- Cole Palmer earned his recall following an impressive start to the campaign under new Chelsea manager Xabi Alonso, having recorded four goals and two assists across six appearances in a dynamite front three alongside Morgan Rogers and Joao Pedro.
- Phil Foden and Harry Maguire continue to miss out on selection, but Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott and 18-year-old Liverpool winger Rio Ngumoha have received their first senior international call-ups after travelling with the squad in the summer.
- Manchester United duo Kobbie Mainoo and Marcus Rashford have been retained in the setup, despite Mainoo not playing a single minute during the World Cup due to an injury that kept him out of the third-place play-off against France.
- England face an extended three-week international break featuring four Nations League matches, commencing against world champions Spain at Wembley Stadium on Saturday 26 September before away trips to the Czech Republic and Croatia.
