England Squad Announcement
Thomas Tuchel has named his 25-man England squad for the Nations League matches against Croatia and Spain, with some notable omissions and inclusions. Cole Palmer, Phil Foden, and Kobbie Mainoo have been left out of the squad. On the other hand, Jobe Bellingham and Josh King have earned their first senior call-ups to the England squad.Jobe Bellingham's Call-up
Jobe Bellingham's inclusion in the squad is a significant development, as he joins his brother Jude in the England team. The 21-year-old has been in impressive form for Borussia Dortmund, winning man of the match awards in the Champions League and starring in the last camp for the under-21s. According to mirror.co.uk, Jobe has also been captain for the under-21s.Cole Palmer's Omission
Cole Palmer's omission from the squad is a surprise, given his impressive form for Chelsea this season. The young midfielder has scored five goals and provided three assists in 11 appearances. Thomas Tuchel said, "I guess everyone is desperate to play for England, Cole is no exception. It counts when you're in camp. I said last time, he misses too many opportunities to impress. The players who were in camp built something extraordinary." Tuchel also stated, "It's not personal. We'll never assume Cole isn't in the mindset to come and play for his country but the competition is on and the players in the [last] camp did an amazing job."Squad Details
