Thomas Tuchel rings the changes! Trent Alexander-Arnold & Cole Palmer recalled to England squad as Phil Foden & Jordan Henderson dropped

England manager Thomas Tuchel has taken a bold step towards reshaping the Three Lions after their World Cup disappointment, naming a squad filled with both high-profile returns and fresh faces. The German tactician has chosen to look past several established names as he prepares for a demanding run of Nations League fixtures.

Tuchel has officially begun the process of rebuilding the England national team by recalling high-profile duo Cole Palmer and Trent Alexander-Arnold returns to the fold for the upcoming international break. Both players were notable absentees from the recent World Cup campaign in North America, but their domestic form has forced the German manager to reconsider his options. Palmer, who endured a difficult end to the previous season, has looked revitalised under Xabi Alonso this term, while Alexander-Arnold has established himself as a regular starter at Real Madrid under Jose Mourinho.
