Overview

• The £10.99 calendar excludes the England duo and features Kylian Mbappé, Vinícius Jr, Thibaut Courtois, Dean Huijsen, Arda Güler, Dani Carvajal, Federico Valverde, Éder Militão, Brahim Díaz, Aurélien Tchouaméni, Álvaro Carreras and Franco Mastantuono.
• Bellingham, who was a cover star and “Mr August” on the 2025 edition, is absent a year after shoulder surgery in July kept him out until September 20.
• Since returning, Bellingham has started only one Real Madrid match and was left out of England’s current camp, with Thomas Tuchel citing a lack of rhythm and no completed full game.
• Alexander-Arnold has struggled for the right-back spot behind captain Dani Carvajal and has been sidelined by a hamstring issue since mid-September, with reports he could miss a November 4 trip to Liverpool.
• Real Madrid have not given an explanation for the selections, and the calendar reflects promotional choices rather than formal decisions on squad status.
