US EditionCumbrian Goalkeeper Called Into England Squad
Trevoh Chalobah and James Trafford join England's squad after injuries to Anthony Gordon and Nick Pope ahead of crucial FIFA World Cup 2026 qualifiers.
- On Tuesday, England called up Trevoh Chalobah and James Trafford to its squad for the final two World Cup 2026 qualifiers against Serbia at Wembley and Albania in Tirana.
- Injuries to Newcastle United forward Anthony Gordon and goalkeeper Nick Pope prompted the late changes, with Gordon having a hip problem from last month and Pope a concussion from last week.
- Chalobah returns to the group after earlier absences and a June debut, while Trafford's recall comes despite limited Manchester City minutes since Gianluigi Donnarumma's arrival and Carabao Cup appearances.
- Head coach Thomas Tuchel kept the squad unchanged on the flanks rather than drafting a Gordon replacement, while England will continue to assess Crystal Palace defender Marc Guéhi, who has a heavy bone bruise.
- Already qualified for next year, England can still impact Group K's final standings as Serbia and Albania contest second place in remaining matches.
