England vs Spain: Lewis Hall doubt for Wembley Nations League clash

Lewis Hall is a doubt for England's Wembley clash with world champions Spain after missing training on Wednesday. The Newcastle United left-back was the only absentee from the 23 players involved in the session led by head coach Thomas Tuchel.

Team news and call-ups

England face Spain on Saturday at the national stadium as they open their account in a new Nations League campaign. They then meet Croatia (home and away) and Czechia in the following ten days.

England Under-19 internationals Kaden Braithwaite of Manchester City and Malachi Hardy of Tottenham were invited by Tuchel to join the seniors' training session on Wednesday to help get the numbers up.

On Monday, Morgan Gibbs-White and James Garner were given late call-ups after five players dropped out of the camp due to minor injuries. As well as Chelsea's Cole Palmer and Arsenal's Declan Rice, there were withdrawals from Marcus Rashford, Kobbie Mainoo and Tino Livramento.

Predicted lineup and selection options

Tuchel is expected to go as strong for the visit of Spain as in any of the following three matches over the next ten days. Trent Alexander-Arnold is the only out-and-out right-back in the squad, but Tuchel could call on midfielder Garner or centre-backs Ezri Konsa or Jarell Quansah in that position if wanting more defensive solidity.

The absences of Rice, Mainoo, Jordan Henderson and Reece James could provide an opportunity for a fresh midfield partner for Elliot Anderson, with Myles Lewis-Skelly or Bournemouth's Alex Scott contenders.

If captain and Ballon d'Or favourite Harry Kane features in all four matches over the coming two weeks, he will draw level with Peter Shilton as England men's all-time most-capped player.
