Thomas Tuchel has recalled Trent Alexander-Arnold and Cole Palmer in his first England squad since the World Cup and found space for the Liverpool winger Rio Ngumoha.
Alexander-Arnold won the most recent of his 34 caps in June 2025 and returns with Reece James not in the squad.
Tuchel said he believed the Real Madrid man and Palmer felt they had “a point to prove” but said it was up them, and others, to justify their selection.
Scott was called up last November for games against Serbia and Albania but did not play and was not selected for the World Cup, although he was one of four youngsters included as training players for England’s camp in Florida before the tournament.
Calvert-Lewin’s four goals from six Leeds games this season have put him back into the squad and Tuchel said King was “very close” to a call-up.

The article, shortened and in plain language
Alex Scott called up by Tuchel but no Phil Foden.
Thomas Tuchel has recalled Trent Alexander-Arnold and Cole Palmer in his first England squad since the World Cup and found space for the Liverpool winger Rio Ngumoha. Alex Scott has also been selected and there are call-ups for Lewis Hall, Jarrad Branthwaite, Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Myles Lewis-Skelly, who is in as a midfielder. Fulham’s Josh King has been overlooked.
Alexander-Arnold won the most recent of his 34 caps in June 2025 and returns with Reece James not in the squad. Tuchel said the Chelsea player was injured and that he would have selected Ben White but for injury.
Tuchel said he believed the Real Madrid man and Palmer felt they had “a point to prove” but said it was up them, and others, to justify their selection.

Scott was called up last November for games against Serbia and Albania but did not play and was not selected for the World Cup, although he was one of four youngsters included as training players for England’s camp in Florida before the tournament.
The 18-year-old has not begun a league match for Liverpool since the opening day but has made five appearances and also started against Atlético Madrid in the Champions League and Tottenham in the Carabao Cup.
Calvert-Lewin’s four goals from six Leeds games this season have put him back into the squad and Tuchel said King was “very close” to a call-up.
