England manager Thomas Tuchel has revealed the squad for the upcoming Nations League matches against Croatia and Spain, according to several Turkish media outlets. The announcement, made on November 6, includes several surprises, notably the absence of Cole Palmer, who was already omitted from the previous selection, reports Sözcü.

Two newcomers called up

According to Ajansspor, two players are included in the English list for the first time. However, the media does not specify their names, but highlights that this call-up constitutes a first. This information is echoed by other sources, who suggest unexpected choices from the German coach.

A busy schedule

England will face Croatia and then Spain in the Nations League, as recalled by Sabah Spor and Ajansspor. These matches are expected to be decisive for the rest of the competition, even if the exact stakes are not detailed in the available sources.

Choices that raise questions

The decision to leave Cole Palmer out raises questions, especially since the Chelsea player had already been absent from the previous gathering. Sözcü mentions a series of surprises in this squad, without providing further details on Tuchel's other decisions. The Turkish media, which covered the announcement extensively, do not clarify the reasons for these choices.
