England Squad News as Thomas Tuchel Set for Saka and Palmer Injury Blows

Thomas Tuchel’s squad for 2026 qualifiers includes first senior call-ups and recalls amid several key injuries, highlighting the evolving depth of England’s team ahead of crucial matches.

  • On Friday, Thomas Tuchel will unveil his England squad at 12 p.m. BST on August 29, 2025, ahead of qualifiers against Andorra at Villa Park, Birmingham, and Serbia in Belgrade, Serbia.
  • Injuries to Jude Bellingham , Bukayo Saka , Cole Palmer and Levi Colwill have created openings for young players in the qualifiers.
