Thomas Tuchel has named his squad for England's upcoming Nations League fixtures, handing two star players their first call-up.
Ahead of their final Nations League matches against Croatia and Spain in the November international break, Tuchel has officially named his England squad.
Heading into the break, many England fans had hoped for some big calls from the Three Lions boss, and it appears he's listened with two major players dropped while some exciting young players have been handed their first senior call-up.
As expected, the likes of Jordan Pickford, Declan Rice and Ballon d'Or winner Harry Kane have all made it into the Nations League squad for the upcoming matches.
However, what many would not have expected is that Fulham star Josh King would be called up by Tuchel.
The 19-year-old was one of the four players who travelled with England to the World Cup over the summer for a preparation camp, with Tuchel even admitting that he was close to being included in the senior squad.
And now he will finally get his chance having impressed with two goals and one assist in nine Premier League appearances this season.
Speaking about his form this season, Fulham boss Arbeloa said: “What a player you have here. Amazing. What a player. Unbelievable.”
Jobe Bellingham, younger of Jude Bellingham, has also received his first call-up to the England senior men's squad after impressing for Borussia Dortmund this season.
Meanwhile both Cole Palmer and Phil Foden remain out of the England squad in another surprise call from Tuchel.
Goalkeepers: Jordan Pickford, Jason Steele, James Trafford.
