Tuchel names England squad with Palmer and Foden decisions
Tuchel names England squad with Palmer and Foden calls

Thomas Tuchel is naming his England squad for the November international break as the Three Lions prepare to face Spain and Croatia in Nations League matches where qualification to the quarter-finals is possible.

The manager faces several difficult selection decisions before the two fixtures, with the involvement of Cole Palmer and Phil Foden a major talking point.

Palmer and Foden under scrutiny

The Chelsea star controversially pulled out of the previous squad and received criticism from Tuchel for doing so, while Foden has not had any contact with the German head coach since he was snubbed from the World Cup announcement.

Tuchel also has calls to make over the out-of-favour Trent Alexander-Arnold at Real Madrid and options for the right wing, with Bukayo Saka ruled out through injury.

Squad announcement live

Express Sport is providing live coverage of the announcement, which will reveal the players selected for November's international matches against Spain and Croatia.

The squad is expected to be confirmed shortly, with attention turning to how Tuchel balances form, fitness and previous disagreements in his selections.
