Overview
- Jude Bellingham and Phil Foden return to England’s 25-man squad for World Cup qualifiers against Serbia at Wembley and Albania away.
- Uncapped Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott receives his first senior call-up, with Adam Wharton and goalkeeper Nick Pope also returning.
- Danny Welbeck and Ollie Watkins are left out, while Trent Alexander-Arnold and Jack Grealish miss the cut despite recent club minutes.
- Tuchel says Bellingham “has to be in the squad” and confirms the Real Madrid midfielder as a No 10, while indicating Foden will be used centrally rather than as a winger.
- Harry Kane is the only specialist striker named, with Tuchel noting Marcus Rashford, Anthony Gordon or a fluid role for Foden as alternative No 9 options.
