Overview

• Thomas Tuchel confirmed a 23-man matchday list from a 24-player group, leaving the Arsenal full-back out under competition rules.
• Tuchel framed the call as a selection decision, with ArsenalNews reporting it was purely tactical rather than injury-related.
• Sky Sports reporter Rob Dorsett said it was both tactical and physical, citing England medics after Lewis-Skelly completed 90 minutes against Andorra three days earlier.
• Reports conflicted on logistics, as ArsenalNews said he trained Monday and flew to Belgrade, while Arsenal Insider reported he did not travel.
• Lewis-Skelly is expected to be available for Arsenal after the international break, while England’s defensive options included Tino Livramento and Djed Spence and Marc Guehi was passed fit.
