England is set to face upcoming Nations League matches without several players after Cole Palmer, Declan Rice, Marcus Rashford, Tino Livramento and Kobbie Mainoo withdraw from the squad due to injury, according to the Football Association and reports from multiple outlets. The fixtures include games against Spain, the Czech Republic and Croatia.
England manager Thomas Tuchel is calling in replacements after the withdrawals. Everton midfielder James Garner and Nottingham Forest captain Morgan Gibbs-White are added to the squad and are expected to join the team on Tuesday. The outlets agree on the list of players who leave the squad and the identities of the two players called up, though they differ slightly in which additional names are emphasized in their reporting.
Overall, the changes reflect late injury-related squad adjustments ahead of England’s Nations League schedule, with Tuchel reshaping the midfield and attacking options through the two call-ups.
