England Need Only Avoid Defeat To Clinch Nations League Quarter‑Finals
Tuchel's 25‑man squad, which features Jobe Bellingham's first senior call‑up, leaves England well placed to convert recent momentum into progression to the last eight.
Overview
- England can secure a UEFA Nations League quarter‑final spot by avoiding defeat to Croatia at Wembley on Thursday, November 12.
- Thomas Tuchel named a 25‑man squad that includes a first senior call‑up for Jobe Bellingham and omits Cole Palmer and Phil Foden, a selection that has sharpened public debate about XI choices.
- England arrive in control of Group A3 after a string of commanding wins, most notably a 7–0 victory in the reverse fixture in Rijeka and other clean‑sheet results that have boosted goal difference.
- Croatia travel to London under significant pressure after losing three of their last four Nations League matches, leaving their qualification hopes effectively over unless results change dramatically.
- Ticket demand is strong with official sales through England Football beginning at £35 for standard seats, priority pre‑sales for ESTC and England+ members, and secondary‑market listings and hospitality packages starting around £75 to £119.
